    WW Greener

    Someone,somewhere,possibly in a galaxy far far away,or possibly in a parallel universe where Weaman Street, Slaney Street, Steelhouse Lane,and St. Mary`s Row remain unmolested,or possibly here on the BBS, this warp in the space-time continuum that unites the aforesaid, (for how else could the characters that exist herein be explained?) will have or know of an instruction booklet for the WW Greener Air Rifle.
    I would be very grateful for a scan or photocopy of this,if one still exists.
    Thank you, John.

    WW Greener Air Rifle

    I have the Greener Air Rifle sales leaflet, the same as Trevor emailed to Eddie, except the prices have been overprinted with a 5/- (25p) increase! I`m searching for something with more technical content. Shooting Party/Greener are looking at present; fingers crossed!
    Thanks for your interest, John

    special bell target paint

    hi edbear,for what its worth the special paint was water colour powder paint and castor oilo(chosen for its viscosity)a very acceptable subsitute is good quality olive oil-greek of course,and the watercolour powder is still used in schools and can be obtained from the internet mine is made by reeves and nowadays known as tempora powder.google powder paint or tempora powder and you will find a few sellers.if you only want a little then pm me your addy and i will send you a little baggy.
    regards nik.

    WW Greener Air Rifle

    I`ve just had a very courteous email from Mr.Graham Greener. However they do not have any technical information or instructions in their archives, only the sales literature.
    It`s all down to that parallel universe now!
