Gosh, Ollie Damon has been around since I was a kid.

I have the 1377 took me less than an hour to replace the seals.

I have one of these I got new as a kid back in the early 80's and I think I over pumped it or something because I recall it not having very much pop to it after I did and it's been sitting back in the closet ever since. Never really thought about having it rebuilt and didn't know they could be. Is there anything they can do to make them better??

Haven't given my old pellet gun a single thought in 30 years but after reading this thread I'll have to go dig it out and see if it can be fixed.

Post by: Bofire on August 27, 2016, 06:15:12 PM: when I got mine done I went stock but they did have an upgrade I think for 2 more pumps.
I got mine in 1963, weeding sugar beet money, I was 12, bought a Ruger 10/22 the same year first one I ever saw.
