When I first decided to try and get the gun working, I only intended to use it for plinking in my basement so I didn't think the lower velocity and cheap BBs would be much of an issue. I certainly didn't think the stock parts wouldn't even let me hit something 20 feet away! Depending on how much of the internals need to be replaced and how much it would cost for parts, I figure I might just retire this gun and let it serve out the rest of its life as the photography prop it was meant to be. In the meantime, I'll try loading it with .2s and see what happens. If I'm lucky, it was just the crap BBs causing the problem.
Oh, and happy new year, everybody!
