I got one of these from an old friend and had to re-build it somewhat.
Worksmanship is amazing.
I put a Hi-Viz green front sight on it after opening-up the narrow dovetail and a fixed Kentucky rear sight in the extra-wide rear dovetail.
Est. low-to- mid-500 fps w/14 gr. .22 pellet.
Despite it being abused by dropping B-B or ball-bearing thru transfer port in the cylinder at one time (cringe)-: , it is still pretty accurate.
It DID put turkey on the table for Thanksgiving, and I was as thrilled to make meat with a century-plus old rifle I had re-built as I was to kill my 1st few bucks as a kid on a sheep ranch 60 years ago!
