So What do you deem to be collectable?

[Pad. E]

As Title

What's yours?

As you probably know mine is the Air-Arms / Sussex Armoury Jackal range.

What one's do collect or would like to collect?

Regards
Paddy.

I suppose anything thats been out of production a while could be deemed collectable, not only old guns really as one that is pretty modern is the Pro elite which I would say is definately entering collectable description, as are your you Sussex Armoury military style rifles, early AA to such as Carmargue and the like

BSFs are another fine example, and Roger on here has an impressive collection along with an impressive knowledge about them should someone need some

Then theres I.Js era such as Pattern Ds, and BTDT has a fine collection of ball chamber pump ups from the 1700s which he regularly takes out Rabbititng

Personaly I like trying to breathe life back into gun's that its hard to get the bits for, its the challenge and a pleasant distraction, and if it wasn't for damn vets bills......
Good move Baz, I think this will be a great addition.

I started collecting by accident, My interest was hunting and I wanted the best / most accurate and powerful rifle.

So I went from Airsporter through BSF, FWB, HW, Original to AA.

Another modern classic has to be the AA TX 200 SR (I have a mk1 and a mk2)

Took me a long time to go PCP too, but have never regretted it but still keep springers along with Rapids, Ripleys, AA410, PT, Daystates etc.

My collection sort of grew organically, I never sat down and thought 'I'll concentrate on one marque.

Personally I dont think you can put an age on a 'collectable'. Ive had brand new guns (Merlyn LE left handed blue stock) that are instantly collectable. Perhaps a collectable is something that someone else wants, new or old, but cant be bought over the counter.

Neither did I until I found this site. I had the one Air-Arms (Jackal)Firepower (amonst other airguns). Within a year I brought 5 Jackals & a Jackal stock.
