Thanks for the pics, Ron. I didn't know T/C made a design change on the falling block assy. I don't think I have ever seen one of the older Omegas I guess. About what year did they change this?

Its going to be a great gun.
Yeah that was another awesome deal they had going on. Another one I considered buying for sure. What powder load are you using with the 200gr. Shockwave?
