    For pure indulgence; a Webley Service Mk2 cased with 3 barrels in 100% mint condition; or.. whoops no, you said I couldn't do that!

    It's one of the ugliest least efficient designs ever produced and I love it!

    Might only have chosen this since I swapped over the pistons in my own example this morning and it's such a joy to work with them!

    Mercury S, serial number WH01266, and if IJ is reading this, yes, you can take that as a hint

    Picking mine up next week :- a superb Webley Mk 111 in mint condition to complete my modest collection. If I never get another gun I will be happy this gun is a mixture of indulgence and nostalgia as it was one of the first air rifles I had a go with.

    A Mercury S, serial number WH01266... just cos I is a devil.

    But probably The BSA VS2000 I shot at BSA 1985. Ummmm rare and expensive and with personal nostalgic value.

    Talking Last gun

    Mine would have to be the TX200SR in .177 that I sold LIKE AN IDIOT about 4 years ago, and would love to have back.
    If someone here bought it off me

    CAN I PLEASE HAVE IT BACK FOR WHAT YOU PAID ME
    That would be nice
    The armourer, with no where near as many guns as I used to have.

    Mine would the Luxus version of the Diana 52.

    At some point I got the idea that I want the fixed-barrel Dianas from 46 to 52 and, if possible, in somewhat special versions.

    So, I have the 46 Stutzen (sold a perfectly good normal 46 to accommodate that one), a 48 SV (special stock with adjustable comb and open sights) and an old 50, probably from the early fifties as some parts, e.g. the trigger and trigger guard seem to date from pre-war Dianas. Also, there's no serial number or date stamp in this one.

    For some reason I've never quite included the semi-recoiling 54 in this would-be collection. The 52 will be there one day, however. Actually, even more desirable than the Luxus would a relatively early model still marked as 48/52, with a lightish stock having the pistol grip end cap and forend end cap made of darker wood. The storu is that Finnish Sako produced a batch of these stocks for Diana in the late eighties, early nineties.

    Cheers,

    -Topi
