Got my Crosman grail pistol today

Just got this in the afternoon delivery. this is the first one I have had a chance to buy and I jumped on it. Holds air and works perfectly.

I shot mine several times after receiving it to confirm it holds and functions OK then stopped. The 451 is a real gas hog and you have to be careful not to wind up with 2 pellets jammed in the bore. From what I've read about the 451, 2 jammed pellets is almost a death knell. The other weak spot is the hammer. It's an investment cast steel alloy and is extremely prone to breakage. I know a lot of guys shoot theirs but I just don't want to risk damaging mine so its treated as eye candy. The 600 & 677 are my semi-auto shooters of choice.
