    Since my first post on this thread, I've added a few interesting specimens - a Pro Elite in .177 and what I'm lead to believe is a one-off Ripley sporter which has 'Special Hunter' emblazoned along the left side of the breech block!

    Today I had a chat with a bloke who still shoots a laiser 12, a .177 single stroker (full power) from the late 80's. The only other he knows of was owned by a G. Bluck who went on to 'invent' the PH Dragon...
    Best Regards

    Surprised to see the Midas cropping up as 'rare' - I thought they made plenty of those?

    My first PCP was a Midas FT with a brass reservoir: not seen many of those, and boy was it fron heavy!

    Still in love with my Daystate Merlyn LE - not as rare as some, but still number 12 of only 50 (60?) made..

    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.
