Basket case R9!

[ChuckHunter]

Picked up a basket case R9 .20 cal the other day!

Guy took it apart and couldn't put it back together. Early serial number puts it at first or second year production 140xxxx! 1995/96

Cleaned everything up and installed a new factory pistol seal a nice tight fitting spring I had stashed and new breach seal... average of 704 for 15fpe on the money with JSB 13.7s  

Will check the accuracy this weekend but the few shots I took with the irons think it gonna be a shooter!!!

Congratulations on breathing new life into an old gun. Looking forward to hearing how it shoots.

What type of scope are you going to put on it?

I actually have an older Japanese Bushnell trophy 4-12x40 AO that I think will be the perfect fit on her!!!
