Those MTC scopes are popular in the UK. I assume they are considered very good quality socpes.
The pump arm thing on the Medalist looks to be homemade. I probably makes pumping the gun easier, but looks atrocious. It is pretty easy to work on. I would suggest you tear it down, and clean/reaseal it. It is not a powerhouse, a very fun plinker.
Yes Larry, the MTC are very good and have an excellent rep. Just fitted it to the Stealth gun, just waiting for the snow to stop then I can have a go.
Re the 1300, just an impulse buy really, just in case it was a short run, still not convinced though. I have a couple of these 1300s already, both in bits though.
Update on my 2 Mac1 SEs - Still with forensic firearms, UK customs said it could be several weeks before they return. I should know if there is an issue if I get Armed police knocking at my door again. That said I do prefer them to knock on the door in the evening than smash it in at 6.00am.
