...a date and Mark number for an
Airsporter S in .22
It was bought from a school friend for the princely sum of £45, I think they retailed at my local sports shop for around £120?. He sold it to me because he'd nearly took his nose clean off his face while cocking it, something I was very carefull not to do. I can still see the split in his nostril, stiches and all. He seemed not sure of selling it, even after facial modification without anesthetics
The year was
1988.
It was a really nice gun, walnut stock and a thicker diameter barrel compared to standard. I found this out buying a moderator for it, only to get home and it was nowhere near a fit....
Can't remember exactly what happened to it, but I think I favoured me webley tracker at the time.
I'd like another, it's the back of the action that apes a shotgun that still really appeals to me
