Review:
I got this gun to add to my growing collection of pb guns. i always wanted one since i was a kid but never could afford it. after watching ebay for a while i decided to get a parts gun and a really good gun. i couldnt find any good guns for a decent price but i did find a parts gun for cheap. a buy it now of $25 dollars with the item description of "used, havent fired, good for collectors only. it didnt have any pics and the seller wouldnt respond to emails so i decided to take a chance on it hoping i could aleast get a decent parts gun on the cheap. when the gun finally arrived i was totaly blown away. not only was it in the original box the gun was in brand new condition. guy bought it years ago (1992) and never even gassed it up. figured no one would want it so he just wanted a little for it to sell quick. i took it apart replaced a few cracked orings (autococker stuff fits for the most part) put it back together and aired her up. this thing kicks like a mule, rapid firing sends the gun all over the place. the best way to shoot is slow and steady so the gun dosent kick off target as easily. the gun is a bad gas hog so you may want to add another tank or get an expansion chamber or reg. you can only fit a 12oz on the front of the gun so you may think about a back bottle setup. im gonna keep mine stock and just live the little quirks of such a unique gun.
Conclusion:
It will never be able to compete with any slightly modern gun but its not meant too. back in the day it was the gun to have and paved the way for future guns. if you are getting this gun its to have a unique gun that you dont see to often and maybe playing with every once in while. it makes a good back up gun in a desperate situation. if you plan on using it as a primary you will be slow, heavy, and gas dependant. youd be better off getting a spyder than this. id buy this again in a heart beat but i want it for the nostalga not the performance although its not bad.
