Mendoza

. i have had a few , and also a few that auto-loaded the next pellet as you were cocking the barrel mendoza rm1000, crosman brought some in and called them rm8, and 522 (577 for .177).......seems i have seen of the mexican-made magnum springers to have a 'rws' in the circle stamped into the receiver... the older mendozas were rated at 1100 fps in .177 and 900 fps im .22 caliber - both rifles easily achieve these speeds with crosman lead pellets. this was because back then, mendoza arms WANTED your shot cycle to diesel or ignite - they even had an arrow guiding the shooter to put oil drops in a hole in the back of the scope rail . the piston inside has a felt ring that circles the piston just under the new piston seal . of course each shot flys out either super-sonically, or at different speeds (700-1200 fps) . it was predictable sometimes with the ignition method , but i soft-tuned a .177 mendoza rm1000 and it shot great,,,, the crosman mendozas had a single trigger blade, which was easier for my accuracy. they shoot a little slow, but i found the mexican air rifles much more pleasant and accurate to shoot with a heavy lube tune. . i'd sure like to try a can of those .22 domed pellets you guys sell that work in the auto loader tube of the .22 break barrels (short, stocky pellets didnt jam in the feeder / loader tube) if you still have some around. please reply.... - paul. here's a link - have a look : http://productosmendoza.com/3-rifles

I have couple of spring type rifles and 2 Stage trigger type always rock

I had one in .22 a few years back-seemed like the bore was a tad oversized, it liked RWS Domes the best. Mine had the split trigger which was pretty nice. I could not get a scope to sit still on the dovetails no matter what I tried. I ended up with a rear peep sight on it. Sold it to raise $ for my R9, never looked back. I will say they are built like tanks-once they quit dieseling they group OK with the right pellet.
