Guns without the auto safety get triggered more often by novices. likely the reason for the bent tabs...

Great job! Turned out great, how is the bore on that rifle. It is the only thing I see that could make a difference in performance from a newer gun. It is definitely transformed to a very nice rifle, and what a reward for your efforts!!!

The bore looks good and feels smooth after cleaned and polished with JB bore paste. The choke seems a little tight on this one.
_Initial chrony results after a few shots_
AA Diabolo Express 7.87 gr..........558fps... 5.44fpe
Will re-test and check accuracy after the leather piston seal conforms to the tube.

Those are great numbers! 7.87 grain on my newer 30s was only 536.8 fps, but only had a spread of 4.35 for 10 shots, and under a dime at 20 yards.
My most accurate luckily,, is JSB RS @ 632 fps with a 15 fps spread when new. But after 1000 RS pellets and many other kinds and rounds. Today shoots them @ 6335 fps, and a much better 8.46 fps ES, cutting one hole for those shots under a dime @ 20 yards.
But in all honesty, these guns will shoot about any premium pellet to the same POI, with good enough accuracy to dispatch any pest out to 25 to 30 yards reliably.
Not a match rifle, but a great little compact, liteweight pest control gun. Plus one of my most fun guns to shoot!!!

Amazing job Wadcutter. You got all that work done in less than a month too!
I bet it's worth a lot more than a Happy Meal now.

The rarest thing on that gun?
That spring steel front sight hood.
Many of these and early pre-safety R7’s are missing those hoods and loose ones are impossible to find.
