Hi all. I,m new here. My name is Bill and I live in Antarctica.. .er.. Iowa, USA
Its been weeks since we've had temperatures surpass 5 degrees. Mostly its been in the MINUS range.
What fun Hibernation is.
OK...I have a 124 Sport that I've owned for a very long time. Serial # 50566
Can anyone tell me when it was Manufactured?
I pulled it out of the safe and dropped a pellet in, cocked it and POW.
Lots of noise and twang but the Pellet never moved.
So...
I started looking On-Line for ideas. I didn't think a rebuild would be that difficult.
I found a massive amount of info and decided to contact David Slade and ask him.
I spoke with David. (What a kind and thoughtful man) He went over the finer points and i Got off the phone to do some "Cyphering" and decided to send it to him for basic tune-up and a trigger job. I figured the spring, piston and breach seal would be over 115 alone. (with shipping)
I sent it in a week ago. He told me 4-5 weeks out, then remembered he's taking a vacation at the end of January.
I'll see it back in February.
What do you all think?
Where is the 124 in your ideas about springers? Good? Did I just waste 250 bucks?
I just joined here so I really want to say... Burrrrrr ... er Hi all
