The anti-beartrap assembly was missing the hook to pull the lever, it was replaced with a cut-down hairgrip soldered onto the leg. Inside the cylinder, there is something inside the port end that looks like a wing nut. It may be something to unlock the jaw block end of the cylinder as probably the block was machined separately to the cylinder.<br />There is a piston seal mod available that is thin enough to sit on the piston end and the seal is formed with an O ring.<br />Apart from all that it still shoots sweetly and is more accurate than me despite its age.

They were used by the Egyptian army for training rifles.I got the one I have about 1980's, don't remember the year. SOG also had Egyptian training rifles that were side lever cocking, 22 cal with rotating breech.<br />My walther model 55 had a punch mark in the side of the chamber, supposedly to make them in operative..the cylinder had to be stoned out to fix this..<br />ChuckChuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02117142497648845742noreply@blogger.com
