Reman Legacy 1000 - disappointing

[vinceb]

First, the breach didn't want to close after cocking and loading. As the cocking lever comes forward, the "foot" that actually engages the piston hit the HEAD of the piston, not letting the breach close all the way.

I decide to fix it by trimming the back of the foot by about .030" - that seemed to work. Now I've just got the poor velocity to deal with (800 with CPL's). I'm gonna order a new spring and seal from Crosman to install when I do the debur and proper lube.

At least the accuracy seems usable, and the gun DOES feel good in my hands. The metalwork machining looks pretty good, but the surface finish is no better (and possibly worse) than a B-2 or a B-3.

Reman problems, or Legacy problems? I don't know. I suspect that once I'm done with it it'll be a decent rifle...

Ratite is the expert on that gun he can help and he has all the parts and mods.

Well, at least there's the Crosman parts department. Being able to get any stinkin' part at all for my Quest or my Legacy at least partially makes up for the poor out-of-the -box QC.

Not tryin' to make the gun into anything outrageous - I just want it to be as good as it is supposed to be.

Now, if GAMO had comparable parts availability... oh, never mind.

To me, that's the fun of buying a $100.00 air rifle. You get to fix it up "RIGHT". Then when the work is over and you have a fine looking and great shooting airgun, you can pat yourself on the back for it. That's why I love the chinese b3-2's. I always tear them apart completely first and start working on them. More satisfaction that way.
