It is a good example of this long lived air rifle with production that was interrupted by WWII. The gun must be loaded with "wad cutter" pellets into its gravity fed magazine, then cocked and pumped up to desired pressure, then can be shot. This gun works as designed after a professional reseal by my favorite air gunsmith, Michael's Lock, Stock, and Barrel, a certified Crosman Air Guns workshop. This gun shoots flawlessly and has been tested with full magazine (20 pellets) and it has held pressure for long periods.
The gun is simply a "must have" for any serious Crosman collector.
