I do this all the time. Last year I overhauled my 10 year bow. Wife said it looked nick. Yep, I'm all set don't need a new one. I could her figuring out how to spend the $500 I was planning on spending on MY bow. Well today I have to, I got no choice, must pick up my new Mission Maniac. But honey this is it. Next lie.

Nice gun. Once you pull the plastic and rubber buffer crap out of the inside it should serve you well.

Had a buddy who bought one, the gun failed on round 130 something (he was more than halfway through box three of ball ammo on the day of purchase) because the plastic and/or rubber buffers inside came apart and gummed up the works. We pulled that garbage out at the range on the bench and put the gun back together. He has fired around 4K rounds through it since without a hitch. Dead on accurate too.

at the range, shooting at 15 the pistol makes one group, and 20 yards, it makes a small cloverleaf group.
I tried it with 230 grain HydraShock, 230 grain Golden Saber, 230 grain ball, 200 grain Speer HP and a 200 grain SWC.
Zero malfunctions with 150 rounds. I think it's a keeper.

When my new holster from Sam Andrews gets here, this will be my daily carry.
