chrisjpainter Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 So, in a couple of days I'll be having a look at one of these and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts of what to look out for in terms of problems? I'll be running it through a Chrono obviously and checking the bottle seal, but is there anything more I should look for? Seems these guns are either brilliant, or absolutely shoddy and nothing in between, so i'm hoping it's the former! Anyone own one of these?

simon6ppc Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 my mate had an MFR 177, being truthfull shooting it single shot, was very very accurate, but with the magazine it did,nt shoot just as good on paper, may be it was that magazine he had with that gun, but a well balanced,plenty shots per fill shooter to be honest.....

Sounds good. It's second hand. looks in great nick from the pics and hasn't been used much, but obviously i won't be able to tell until i actually look at it and feel it! looking forward to having a try on it, do you have an extra silencer on it, or is it quiet enough without? got a pellet recommendation?
