Paint etc is additional.
Bearing in mind that these guns were more about plinking than hunting its not a (modern) powerhouse, however they’re ok of shooting small prey such as rats.
The chrono readings shooting JSB Exact 8.44 pellets are:
201.8, 200.9, 201.6, 200.1, 201.6, 201.8 and 200.7 metres per second. This is the advertised velocity for when the gun was new - which is pretty good for a 60 year old with leather piston seal. Cheers. Declan.

Very nice mate. Great work!
