    Same here and exactly the same story.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    Got an Air Arms Camargue from the mid 80's one of AA's custom rifles back in the day, don't see many of those these days. I also have a Haenel MKIVE .177 late 20's early 30's vintage, its still the only one I've seen in the flesh although a few guys on collectables say they have one as well.

    New pics!!

    Anschutz mod275, Not sure how rare these are as production only stopped a few years ago!! (I've only seen one other it the steel though!!).



    I don't think the Air Arms SE90 is ever so common!


    HW35 but no mention of Melrichstadt bay, Just EUSTA




    I don't think these fine shootin' irons are common as muck ether, Umarex Wildlife!!


    Mk1 Webley with most of the acid etching still there!


    A really nice mk1 Airsporter with a stock that isn't dead plain and boring like most others!!!


    Venom tuned HW35, Non safelty model from 1970, Tuned and blued by the great men themselves!


    I don't think the Type 01 Original mod 50 was well received so are maybe a bit rare..

    I have the usual ones,JW50 #10, PH Dragon, JB1, sold my Laisair in the 1980's, still got a Wilkins Predator , Ripley AR5, AR5S, AR5s Stainless, GC2 MK3, factory Daystate bullpup they made five of - but one I have not seen mentioned is a Colin Urquhart - made when Air Arms was changing their focus from the 100 action (I have all of those too) to the RN10 - he made a hybrid using the RN10 cylinder, but he them made a frame and breech similar to the 100 series (but side bolt) and also utilised a 100 action Olympic trigger - that is mated to a Daystate CRX walnut stock - really a remarkable rifle - I don't have a clue how to post a picture of it, sorry.
