Found this little rarity in a pawn shop this past Saturday, the voice in my head would not allow me to leave without this thing. There's not much info about them on the net, and it seems like they weren't that great of quality from the sounds of things even though they had LW barrels. Not sure if they still did when Benjamin started making them though. I switched the rear sight for the one off my Disco and damn does this thing shoot, not twangy or buzzy like their rep would suggest and the single stage trigger is butter smooth and breaks light and crisp. Anyone know anything about these?

I've never seen one either, but it is a beauty! I wish I had that kind of luck once in a while! Good luck with it.

Ever see a piston seal like this?


Keep in mind I wear a 12-13 shoe. The spring is 12.5"!!!
