    Yes, possibly interested in it, but I don't think any of my "classics" are 1970 or before.

    My B.S.A Stutzen is 1986 & my Webley pistols are late 70's/early 80's. The same goes for B.S.A Scorpion pistol and I think my Mk III Webley is early 1970's at best, so I too would not have a suitable "tool" either.

    On the B.S.A.O.G the cut off year is on or before 1986 for the classic spring air rifle class .

    I started a classic spring air rifle comp' last year on the airgun hq website, but there was only myself & my brother in law competiting & it folded.

    I'm in agreement with Chris.

    I think there will be more of a following if the cut off date is mid 80s. However I do have a few 70s airguns, I do think some airguns are hard to date so mid 80s would be more appriorate .

    I came up with 1970 because I'd heard that it was during the 1960's that the modern plastics, cheap metals, etc. started to squeeze out the old metal and wood.

    We don't have to use 1970.

    Chris, does BSAOG give any reason for this particular cut-off date?
