I would rather not shoot it out the nipple rusted up and i don' t know if it would fire anyway.I will probably try the trick tree climber suggested and see if that works . I want an inline anyway i just thought that was a good price for a starter i don' t want to pay the price for a knight or omega till i see how well i like it.Its been a good gun through the years and i won' t part with it it' s killed to many deer i will probably pass it on to my daughter when she gets older so i will fix it
