Handed down from dad.
This is a lovely CO2 powered pistol, in it's own form-fitting box along with cutouts for a box of gas cartridges, a cleaning brush, and tin of pellets. I have not fired it for years and took it out of the gun safe to bring it to Florida for the winter. Naturally, when I inserted a CO2 cartridge, nothing happened. The mechanism inside did not load any gas behind the piston.
Sights--clockwise - right clockwise - down 2 clicks per scoring ring at 10m
Trigger weight--Turn screw A 176-1 anticlockwise to increase. Should the trigger fail to engage while pistol is being cocked, turn A 176-1 anticlockwise.
Trigger slack--Loosen lock nut A 177-2 to adjust. Turn A 177 clockwise to shorten, anticlockwise to lengthen.
Needless to say, this was another target for my entry-level gunsmithing. I took it apart to the extent that I could, cleaned, and oiled everything. Then I adjusted the trigger to be a little lighter on the pull, and put it back together. Voila! It began cycling. Friend Don was down to visit in FL and we put in another cannister of CO2 and had a blast popping Coke cans in the back yard. The pistol is quite accurate out to 25 or 30 feet.
