I have a .22 Saxby Palmer Ensign rifle, 3 working cartridges (metal), and the pump for them. Pump has good pressure, no leaking. Note: THE REAR SIGHT BLADE IS MISSING. It is the REAR sight that is missing, not the front like I wrote on the Yellow Forum ad. Apparently I was directionally-challenged last night.
Here's a look at the 3 carts I've got. When I bought this, the previous owner didn't have any more, and I never bothered to look for any. I bought it because it was so different from any of my other guns, and I wanted to try it out. I used it to shoot some nuisance squirrels, and as a hunting gun, it's not too shabby. Now that I've moved into town, I just plink, and continually re-charging the 3 cartridges doesn't appeal to me.
It shoots great with 2 full pumps on the carts. The former owner assured me that 3 pumps would work, but I didn't want to lock up the valve. Trigger is really crisp, and is adjustable 3-ways. Looking here, front to back, I think the order is: sear engagement, pre-travel, and spring tension. I thought it was pretty nice when I got it, so I didn't adjust it much.
Here's a closer look at the checkering on the palm, and the open bolt (ser. no. 1329). The wood is nice; nothing fancy, but it's not a 2x4, either... The checkering looks like it was pressed, but it's neat and even on both sides.
Monte Carlo style stock, brown ventilated buttpad with white and black spacers. The cheekpiece is raised on the left side only (sorry, lefties...)
The receiver is powder coated, matte black, with the factory stampings on either side. In this pic, you should be able to see that the rear sight is not complete. I didn't mind when I bought it this way, because I scope pretty much everything I shoot, but you may feel otherwise.
To be completely fair, here's another view of the missing sight...
I'm asking $275 plus actual shipping costs. Thanks for looking. -Joel
