Hi all!
I just stumbled into an old Crosman 130 in .22, and while it has definitely been around the block it seems to be holding air. While I did hear some slow leaking while pumping it at the shop, and even a pop from the rear when I dry fired it with 1 pump, it now holds 2 pumps very well (to my ear) over at least a 12 hour span. Cool! I can play around for a bit before the seals truly go south.
Chony numbers are 300fps for 8 pumps and 325 for 10 pumps using a 13.73 grain wadcutter.
I hardly expect the little pumper to be a powerhouse, but that seems low to me.
Can anyone tell me what numbers I should expect from a healthy gun? Is 400 fps with any pellet realistic, or is 325 pretty much the right speed for that pistol?
Thanks all!
