203 forum posts 16 photos | Welcome Carl, there's a few of us on here into air rifles. What are you into?, general fettling/tuning or the actual building something like a Buckley? |

![]() 19226 forum posts 749 photos 86 articles | Hello Carl, Welcome to the forum. I'm not exactly blessed in the airgun department, a Crosman Ratcatcher and a totally worn-out panther pistol from the 70s with as much power as your average spud gun! Neil |

52 forum posts 1 photos | Welcome Carl, also a couple of air rifles here and another ML4 in the queue for a rebuild. Not quite sure which direction to take it yet, might yet be CNC. |

84 forum posts 69 photos | Hi spring or pcp , I have just sold my air arms SE90 so I'm left with just my collection of parts of several guns and a XS78 despite its origins probably the most accurate air rifle I have ever had. |

89 forum posts 33 photos | I still have an AAs400 and AAs200 from my Field target shooting days with my son. They are locked in a gun cabinet which I can't open because the keys were nicked along with the safe which they were in (bolted to the floor but that didn't stop them) . . .I also have a Webley Jaguar from my childhood days, and assorted air pistols. Had great fun with them so must get the cabinet open one day and give them some tlc Hywel Edited By Hevanscc on 17/03/2017 06:53:43 |

84 forum posts 69 photos | Blimey you chaps seem to be able to hold on to your air guns , mine always come and go I don't really get enough time to shoot and I'm concentrating on refurbishing my lathe once that's done I will be make a new gun . |

203 forum posts 16 photos | Unless you're a collector I can't see the point of just storing them away and not shooting your airguns, every one I've ever had has been used or got sold on. Still got a Sheridan Blue Streak from the late 70's and a HW80 from '81 ish both bought new and still used down the range regularly to break up the "boredom" of using a target PCP. I'm grounded at the moment having had a knee replacement a week ago so can finally get round to drawing up my dream HFT PCP and will make a start on it when I can get about a bit better. Will hopefully stop me going stir crazy.

84 forum posts 69 photos | I know the feeling I'm sat at home doing the same , I injured my shoulder nearly six weeks ago and it's not healing as fast as I need . I keep doing little bits but it's slow . |
