Well…yes, I guess.
The newer ones shoot ok, but they kinda’ feel like they’re made of styrofoam. These old brass-bolt, alloy frame, self-cockers are a classic (and the supply is dwindling)
imho, well worth the effort & $ to fix.
On yours; judging by the scratch from the bolt hole on the pointed end, looks like there may be a burr or something around the bolt hole in the pump tube. Also, the brass end cap that goes in the peened-over steel part (sleeve) has to slide easily (this is critical to the function of the gun), if it doesn’t, the steel sleeve may need to be replaced.
Note: I’m just trying to be helpful, apologies if you already know this stuff…One thing I’ve learned from these forums is that you never really know the extent of someone else’s
experience. So just in case…
Best of luck,
Rex
