Whats the "Rarest" rifle you own ?

[BSFNUT]

In terms of rare factory stocks ;

I have a HW80K Tyrolean, HW77K Tyrolean and a Venom converted HW55 Tyrolean, the one missing to complete the set is the HW85K Tyrolean.

I suppose my AA Tactical Hunter falls into this category too.

BSA Scorpion Pistol in the Black ABS Carbine Stock - never actually seen another in the 30 odd years I've owned it. Would like to get my hands on it's bigger brother, the BSA Buccaneer

The BSA Shadow Carbine ( a scorpion with a cut down Buccaneer stock) I have also seen one that had a camo finish for sale from John Knibbs at the 2005 MGF

Not very rare, but I do have an ASI Sniper in mint condition apart from the fact that the repeater tube has long since vanished

This was bought for me in the early 80's so around 25 year old.

Still works like a charm, I took it down the club a few months ago and it could still hit spinners out to 20 yards with open sites

members were queing up to have a go

The two rarest rifles in my collection were both specially built for Tom Walton following an incident with his earlier FT rifle.

The first is a stainless steel action GC2 Mk3, the first made in this material, and one of only 6(?) in total in stainless. I is fitted into an Airmasters FTXS stock, one of only two that I believe were made, the other being built for a Shamal and was featured in the 1988 Airgun World annual as part of a colour centre page article. Tom comissioned the stock in about 1988 tofit his GC2 Mk1, according to Tom the cost of the wood blank and the carving came to about £900.

The second rifle is an unusual Ripley, built for Tom to encourage him back into FT, the cylinder is of stainless steel rated at a burst pressure of 60000psi. The rifle uses parts from a failed prototype called the 'Phoenix'. The barrel and breech block are offset to the left side side of the action.

the stock on the phoenix looks a lot like the one on my gc2 mk3 (up for sale in the sales section)

Yup, it was John who put me onto the stock option back in '91 when I was looking for parts for my Paratrooper - which sits above my head on a shelf as I work here.
