It'll be interesting to see what differences you get after a clean.

Nope left it just as is haha
Some old Daisy pellets I'll do a shot string using them with the gun uncleaned, then do a clean and another shot group test them so from there with pellet picking and tuning |

Didn't you clean all oils and shipping crap off first?
The breach seal don't look that great on mine either. What pellets were you using. |

A few quick shots before I left for work, clouds of smoke out of the barrel each time I shot, was hitting a post at 15m but no time to set up a proper target.
Trigger pull was very heavy on first couple of shots then started coming a little more predictable Breech looks um like it needs a tidy up....  Edited by Billbobnz - 23 Aug 2023 at 7:18am |

Haha sorry Pete, I have great memories of a Series 1, One of my brother's friend had one many years ago and I used to bounce around in the back, almost had to wear helmets
Yes the Ghillie Green is probably the best thing that's it got going for it. I'll do some shots in the morning and report back. Edited by Billbobnz - 22 Aug 2023 at 4:02pm |

Mark, have you ordered one through Dave or elected to buy direct? Looks like they're selling out fairly quickly.

Well I have mine.... Haven't fired it but did half cock it, made my hair stand on end...! Sounded like a series 1 land rover going up a shingle road! So I stopped and put it down! Really regretting my life choices right now but it can only get better from here hahaha.

They got a dozen here if you can't get one.
They are also in a vivid pink but I think it's just the olive ones on special. |

Pulling it apart and cleaning it before do the first shots.
That gamo got from gc had crap all through the springs etc. Give it a fair go before tuning it a bit. |

Don't forget to do before testing as a comparison.
