me gave me the nudge I needed to get a couple three guns in shooting order again.

and so managed to get me thinking about my Mark1. Then Odoyles links got me going to fix the stupid co2 cart piercing cap for it and there were two more just sitting there so I managed to fix all three. They have been sitting around for over ten years just waiting to be fixed. I really did not have the brain power back then to fix them but times change and some of us get better with age.
Got the Mark one done and put back together then put a fresh cart in it pierced it and all of the gas just gushed out. Tried a second cart expecting the same but it held. Ran a few pellets through it but my arms are all screwed up so I had to stop. It is sounding pretty potent though. I don't remember what I did to it but I may have to undo it. I guess we will see how many shots I get when I can shoot that many again. Probly in a few days.
After an hour of taking it easy I dropped a co2 cart in the 79G put the newly rebuilt cap on and pierced it expecting a big gush of gas to escape like on the Mark1 but it didn’t it just gassed up and held. I managed a few shots with it also but that was it my arms are done for the day.
I have a cap to put on another 600 but have not found the gun as yet. Which is good cuz I will need what's left of my arms to finish typing this up.
It doesn’t take allot to get us started sometimes just a couple of nudges and we are off. Thanks guys these are fun old pieces of yesteryear.
Mark one the way it was
Mark 1 the way it is
