    Was the Gamo G1200 Magnum available in the UK

    could any of you guys out there tell me if the Gamo G1200 Magnum was available over here in the UK and if so are there many out there?
    i'm looking for either a complete item or any spares, also is there a UK dealer that goes back early 90's when i believe it was available that may just carry some spares.
    thanks in advance, Keith

    yes it was ,I bought it from a ex pat from spain, had a hell of a job getting the 74 gram carts till BAR got me a set imported at a fair cost

    it was a great gun for fast plinking, plus very accurate for co2 , tried hunting but think they only push out 6lb or so, the rack pump action for cycling the shots is very good very fast rare to jam, but you need to have flat head pellets.

    there was one for sale in the sales section on here, with a skelton stock etc and tuned up , might even still be for sale,
    I sold mine to an ex soldier and he loved it

    I have two of these rifles available .

    One is modified and working in gloss black due to original finish fading .

    The other is original and complete but not working needs attention .

    They were going to be a project but would sell if interested ?

    MMMMmmmm ....

    Perhaps some confusion over these models ?

    Mine takes regular 12g CO2s

    Neither would the pump chamber take anything larger ( which accomodates the CO2 ) maybe we are talking about different GAMO 1200 models here ?

    Can anyone clarify ? Would be interested to see pics of a bulk CO2 model .

    PHOBUS- i think you may be correct, thinking back, mine took the smaller cart's, you could fire it as fast as you could pump the fore-stock-good fun though
    in the manual that came with mine, there was another one listed that took a round-ish dumpy bottle which gave hundreds of shots per bottle
