ime agostini stocks don't last long, pcps are the first to finish, then the powerful break barrels.

if you want to keep it, nowhere.
iirc that has a rifled barrel, which is illegal to possess without an FUL.

There is a particular dealer who has been known to send squad cars of cops to harass
Persons just for harassing sake or if you badtalk him or he hear a talk about you.
He was tight with gg predecessor and able to do those things, Dunno if he tight with gg.

Look down and see if it is a smoothbore, use phone cam if necessary.
There are old Airguns around locallay which are rifled as they would have been acquired before the stupid law change.

the 1077 came out post change, air weapons order was issued on 31st Dec. 1970. but that doesn't automatically equate to the one he has being smothbore.
better he check to be 100% certain, & if it is rifles see if he can change the barrel if he has an air gun permit & want's to keep it. to ketch an illegal firearms case for a 1077 don't make sense.180beast wrote:well i have my liscence and my first rifle i bought which is working good, but the crosman i got from my grandfather who is deceased now , i had it for about a year and now decided to hit small tins with my son but its just leaking out , ive used it long time and know its basically a bb gun level so thats why i asked for help.
Understandable, just make sure it is in fact smoothbore, then once it is you can take it to any reputable licensed gunsmith that deals in air weapons to have it repaired.
Though if I were you I personally would just perform a total rebuild myself, really no telling what other seals or parts need changing after all these years.

I am looking for something small with a head that can be removed to fill dry ice in.

The problem is usually when the gas propels the valve across the yard as you loosen the threads.nervewrecker wrote:But a tank under pressure will rupture if you heat and weaken the walls

Co2 not combustible.

We used old tanks as .30 caliber rifle targets. Many still had acetylene or propane gas in them but I never once saw one explode from a shot. I can't say what would have happened if you overheated one. I don't expect that it would have been pleasant.

Compressed gases ain't nothing to play with.

That seems like a series of serious misjudgments. In my case, any old tank, wired up to a post, at the opposite end of a 500 meter rifle range. A couple of shots later and you have a verifiably inert tank.
