Older Springer Top 10 Collection List.

[el maipino]

From the pictures Ican find on the bbs and other forums as well as the geneneral net these rifles seem to have much more charcater than a lot of the modern offerings. I think I am going to concentrate on these rifles for the foreseable future.

I had seen some rifles from the pre war era and had dismissed them as ugly but said the same about some 1970-80's rifles which I now find appealing, so will probably go for some of them too if I can find any for sale.

Last time I was abroad I came across a gunsmith who had a pile of old airguns, and like a retard I did not even take a look.

So jam butties for the wife and kids for a bit as I look to buy.

This is one of the funny things about collecting; rifles you once dismissed as ugly become must-have desirables almost overnight.
