They really are terrible guns, and don't shoot worth a darn. The 20 or so animals I shot, in the last several years, with my Whitetail SS 50 cal. were laughing at me right up until the bullet hit. Please let me do you a favor and take it off your hands (CHEAP!) before you waste your time trying to get it to shoot. I would hate to think of you suffering thru all those hours of pleasure (OOPS, I meant pain) trying to make it work!
Seriously, you will find it the best you have owned, and will have many years of great shooting with it. I was serious if you want to get rid of it, tho. I love mine and would never hesitate to get another.
