I'm still working on a new 45.
Sunday afternoon will tell the tale
Colonel
My oldest son got me this for my birthday a few days ago. It arrived yesterday evening. It's a 22 pellet gun but for all the world looks and feels like a M14 or M1A as they call this. Marketed by Springfield Armory.
Had a little mishap right off, I missed a step in the loading process and couldn't get the cocking lever to go back forward, ended up pulling the trigger and near took off my left hand pointy finger. Research revealed I need to push a little button, normally the magazine cutoff to release the lever. Anyhow I lived and it shoots pretty durn accurate. During the mishap, there's a cocking lever extension that slides in and out, when the lever launched it blew that extension out someplace. 4 of us was looking for quite a spell and still haven't found it. Should be easy to find but no idea where it shot off too. Not supposed to come out but it apparently blew the keepers or something. Works fine without but I'll find it anyhow, personal challenge.

Great looking Pellet Gun. Is it as heavy as a M14 Colonel? You'll find the part. Right after you place the order for its replacement.

I think it weighs about the same as an M14. We had two at the dept and it feels the same to me. Heavy. And a real wood stock.
