Thanks everyone for sharing photos of your 124's and other guns with beautiful stocks, this is what I was hoping for. I stumbled across my first 124 because a gentleman asked me to bring two of his back to life, I didn't want to work on someone's else's gun without first doing one of my own so I purchased a 124D and that gun shot ok for a while but like all 124's the piston seal dried out and crumbled. I ended up installing a JM Pro Mac HP kit and was so impressed with the accuracy and shot cycle I did the same for his two as well, The guy is absolutely thrilled with both of them.I stumbled upon another 124 standard with the same problem, I installed the slightly softer kit in that gun and really like it. The standard 124 is like brand new with a really nice beech stock, nicest piece of beech I had ever seen, grain is deep and 3D when the light hits it, I almost believe it's not beech maybe walnut but not sure ? That gun shoots 7.87 JSB's at 780 fps and is just as accurate as the 124D.
