Re: rebuilding old gun

What do you have? The muzzel, the handle, barrel and shaft? If you have that, then you have an entire gun. Take the gun. I'll post pics tommorrow of my 450 that I'm building. I'll help you along, you will spend virtually no money and have a good gun.

Re: rebuilding old gun

You could strip the gun, clean it up, spray it camo, fill the tube with foam, fit new rubbers, dynema wishbones, new mono & bungee & take some pics along the way so we can all share the fun?

Re: rebuilding old gun

when you build one will any aftermarket muzzle work with little modification or do you have to get one for that make of gun im thinking that the only salvageable part is the body and the triger will have to be replaced

Re: rebuilding old gun

You just need to know the tube diameter, most likely 25mm or 28mm then you have the choice of dozens of replacement muzzles.
