Congratulations - You got it!

Some time after that old thread, I found out a little bit more about this trainer

If you dig out a photo of the Gras, you can see the resemblance. Since the thread linked above, I have acquired a chronograph, and was impressed to see that with the standard RWS .22 short cartridges (NOT the stuff used for rapid-pistol shooting, which is weaker) the muzzle velocity out of the 65 cm barrel is a solid 300 meters/sec. Hence its ability to be effective at 200 meters!
