Hi Everybody,
Totally new to this game. Picked up a very second hand pistol from a car boot fair for just £1.00. the downside is it has no instructions on ammo or power or anything for that matter. In fact I cannot seem to find anything on the net about it. The pistol is and looks like a target pistol; printed on the side is RO83 pistolette. Made in Italy.
Ca anybody point me in the right direction as to it's specs etc. I live in the UK so firearm laws are quite tight here.
Thanks. |

| Are there any other marking on it, such as a manufacturers name? |

Probably a guntoys of some sort.
The Ro 71/72 pistols are also el cheapo target-ish pistols. |

Forgot to say. I own a Ro 72. Shooting it hurts.
It's quite an accurate throwing gun.
Also a good blunt gun for self defence. |

| I think I had one at one time. It was the only airgun I ever sent back for a refund. It was cheaply made and on my first shot with it, the pellet never exited the muzzle. Part of the pellet was sticking out enough so I could pull it out with my fingers. I like Italian firearms, but this airgun was a joke. |

Thank you guys for your input and advice. It does look like an RO71. So I'll treat it with the contempt it deserves...lol  |
