Teun Meet of Metura Shooting Sports told me yesterday that the gun was sent out in the morning.  Amazingly it showed up at my office today. The finish is hot blued, and is mirror polished.  A silicone oil impregnated cloth makes it look flawless; the pictures do not show that.  The pistol looks exceptionally well finished and assembled.  The wood grips in the pics are grips Teun had in the shop.

I am very pleased, and have a few things to install tomorrow. The trigger is amazing with absolutely no play. Teun shot the pistol with match 4.5 pellets before the upgrades and the chrono read 450 fps.  After the upgrades and mods and removal of the cylinder spacer piece the chrono read 680 fps, an increase of about 51%.

Interestingly I did not yet pay for the pistol and all the work performed.  ??? I have a feeling I'll hear from him tomorrow.  :)

DonnyFL Sumo muzzle brake (Airguns Europe). Will install and test tomorrow

3.0mm thick stainless steel sear (donated by Brutuz) contoured and mirror polished.

All springs upgraded; trigger preload mod Sear mod refused as it was deemed dangerous by Teun Meen as it could accidentally autofire.

Two 100mm X 150 mm X 1,5 mm sheets of  Sorbothane® (e-Bay USA) were cut and joined to precisely fit around (one rotation) the inner component of the DonnyL Sumo. Before installation the joined sheet was micro perforated with a Wartenberg pinwheel.  I'll mess with the muzzle brake and test it tomorrow...

The store has a large selection of air pistols and rifles, and a fully equipped gunsmith shop.

Wow!  That is looking so nice.  I see your trigger work and with a pull of 400 grams, excellent!  Trigger control is everything.  May I ask why you chose to not install a power adjuster?  And a store with Airguns on display?  It would be so nice to actually go to a store and view product.  Everything for me is bought online.  Looking forward to seeing what more you do with your beautiful pistol!

I have a power adjuster, and can use it if I wish.  Aesthetically the fgun looks better without it, and I like to shoot at the highest power.  The Metura shop was recommended, and the owner has a good repuation, so went with that.  There's really nothing else I plan to do with the pistol other than shoot it.

It will be so interesting to see your targets.  What distance will you be shooting?  Have you decided which pellet?
