    Ripley Predator 20 shot Bullpup (One)

    Daystate LR 90 semi bullpup (One)

    BSA Goldstar Semi Bullpup (One)

    BSA Super Ten with an all aluminium folding stock (One)

    Air Arms Evolution in a fully adjustable aluminium stock. (One)

    There is also an HW80 out there somewhere. It took the customer three years of pestering me before I finally agreed to do it. I will never do another one. Ever.

    If there is a request I will put Photobucket links up.
    Very nice keith . but the two most succesfull FT rifles you have done are my GC2 and the 2002 shutz you did . the latter is just about as perfect a FT rifle as you will find . weight , balance , hold , accuracy , reliability . all present and correct .
    as for rare . i have one of dave welhams airmasters shamals with john welham stock . les than 30 made and how many left now . dunno . but i have never seen or heard of another ??? HOLLY

    probably got one of the rareist air rifles, a muzzle loading 30 cal butt resevoir, made by the late mick dawes, in the early 1980s he made every part including the octagonal barrel which he rifled himself, superb piece of kit

    TDs "Emily" the FT championship winning HW77, I dont own it but do look after it for TD, its in cossetted airconditioned luxury, along with TDs Logun "Carbon Fibre" special which I am looking after

    Ken Turner special HW80, all stainless steel, another I have bought back after owning a few years ago (the wonders of the worldwide BBS)

    And one for the firearms lovers, 22/250 Ackley Improved built by B. Dupuy, winner of several Benchrest comps a decade or two ago and drop dead gorgeous, built on Obendorf action with Lothar Walther barrel, Jewel trigger and superb Walnut stock, 1/2 inch group at 200yds with ease!

    Hi baz just out of curiosity what serial no. is your ken turner stainless rifle im only asking because mine is kt83 002 which was kens own competition rifle during the eighties 001 im told was sold to ian law and then to a guy i know who emigrated to usa. Ken went on to build several more rifles in 1987 but i dont know the exact number. Ta mate. Matt (ps i would of pm'd you but couldnt click on your username for some reason)

    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
