The pump is able to compress air till 250 Bar or a lil' over 3500 PSI. I think it is a standard high pressure pump. Its just like filling air into a deflated bicycle tyre. Does require some muscles, I admit !

Well, both. He was a bit more concerned about the loss to the exchequer due to duty loss if every Tom, Dick and Harry, members of rifle clubs started importing air guns. Says he, if there are one lac members of rifle clubs, you can't have one lac duty free guns being imported into the country !! :P

Regards Shamsher
It is not apparent though...seems fine for the moment.... I think Dev's QB also has a single clamp holding the barrel and tube...

Thanks Lazybones !

Well, have played with the lady some bit and tried to understand her likes and dislikes.
1. She is a loud-throat and with no politeness or decency. Within the house shooting requires ear-muffs.
2. She doesn't like any pellet under 10 gr ! But if you will insist on feeding her flat-heads (GSmiths), she'll insist that the maximum range you fire them from does not exceed about 12-15 mtrs. At 10 mtrs the best groups are within a cm. I am no Abhinav Bindra too !
However the same pellet hit from 25 mtrs gives a clean penetration in a shoe-polish box thru cover and base.
3. As of now the most relished pellets are the Crossman Ultra Magnums and the HN Field Target Trophys'.
4. Breaking glass at 25-30 mtrs is no big deal.

Yet to try her out at 50 m +

Have developed a bad habit of shooting thru a scope with the HW so I am much tempted to crown her with one too... but need a very small one, if at all...
