    I have recently obtained Ben Taylor's prototype FWB Sport 124 with a Gas Ram fitted by Ben
    A real 'One off' made for FWB as an experiment.

    As previously mentioned, My TDR is rare too, Hydrographics have only made 10 .177 dipped ones and mine is the only BTAS regged one out there

    My Cyclone and RWS500 will be rare for a while, soon, as I am having the first GinB stocks made at the moment

    Cheers

    John

    Cheeky git!

    Since my previous posts re Sharp Pan Target and factory l/h Pro Sport I have captured the only known () BSF model 65 and a one-off Webley Omega with a factory fitted adjustable gas ram system. A prototype which came from last years Webley auction.

    It was only a matter of time before he mentioned his BSF 65...

    I have 'The Pioneer Model BB76', by 'Ultra Hi Products Co. Inc', Hawthorne N.J. 07506.

    It's an underlever BB repeater in the style of a muzzle-loader. Don't think there's many in the UK.

    Exclamation

    Mine is probably a Ripley AR5 in .20 calibre, full left hand and-wait for it--serial number 001.

    Don't know how rare

    I have a .22 Pro Elite that is drilled and tapped for rear iron site out of the box. Also a .177 Pro Elite putting out 19.9 ft. lbs.. TX200 Mark1 #00321. Have a Pro Sport with a lefty Jim Macarri stock. He was making it for Mr. Saunders of Air Arms when they parted ways so I now have it. Also an old R1 with only 2 scope stop pin holes. None are really rare, but it's the best I have.

    Rarest rifle you own

    You cant get any rarer than 1 only in existence, i have 5 one offs No2,3,4,7 and 19 right down to the individual design, mechanics and last screw, not modded production rifles like 99.5% are.

    I have serious modded production based rifles but they dont count even though theres only one like it.

    No one got a Girandi or similar.

    Does a Theoben SLR98, .177cal, short barrel version count?
    There can't be many of those around either.
    If mine is a year old and is number 875/98, that's only an average of 90-100 SLR98's produced in a year - and the .177 has only been around for a couple of years, with most being the long barrel version, since the short version has apparently been discontinued.
