Reply With QuoteSome guns once bought should never be sold, You've already mentioned one the HW35 Export, another is the HW55, one you want and well worth the wait and finally never sell a FWB Sport or your life will never be the same again.

I have all - in fact too many - of the guns I have been interested in. However there are a few that I am 'sort-of' interested in but not desperate for.
These are ....
The Walther lever-action CO2
The Kentucky BB gun
An early HW85
The Relum Tornado
Webley Mk III
Webley Omega
ASI Statical
ASI Paratrooper
Weihrauch HW55
Umarex Smith & Wesson 586
Smith & Wesson .22 CO2 target pistol
Schimel pistol
Crosman 600 pistol
Then there are ones which I HAVE owned but sold on and wish I hadn't!
Feinwerkbau LP100
Feinwerkbau 65
Park RH91/93
Weihrauch HW77K
Weihrauch HW35 Export
Crosman 766
But I have got the really choice ones in my cupboard already!

Hi,
Damn it man, all this talk of fine guns leaves me feeling woefully inadequate because I only have 4 Gems at the minute...but looking at your list of regrets, I note that you too had an RH91/93...<sigh> ...me too, RH91W in .177, S/No 0711, lovely dark walnut stock. One of the very first to be made in .177, pre-ordered months before it actually arrived. I had cause to return it under warranty and ask them to date it with regard to where the .177s started. It was returned with a letter of provenance from Park/Gafac engineering stating that they could not say specifically at which serial number the .177s were introduced because there was no different sequence for calibres, but that .177 was introduce at around the 0700 mark so mine was early in the run...or words to that effect...so, as a gun came off the line, I assume it was stamped with the next serial number regardless of calibre??..anyway, it was a marvelous piece of engineering and a joy to shoot, very powerful and accurate, only downside was the weight but everything else more than made up for that little drawback. One of my top 3 all time favourites. and I wish I had it back

Bit of a short listIt really does get out of hand and then the cupboard gets full
After my wife issued an asbo on more rifles I'm down to less than 15ones.
Now, if you could only keep one would you keep an Airsporter S or Centenary both mint both .177? (It has to sit between a HW35E, FWB127 and Original 45, Webley Omega). HELP.

Award-winning Airgun Anorak
There are loads of airguns I would love to have and a few keepers I will hold on to whatever happens, barring a total meltdown in my finances or threat of imprisonment. If I absolutely had to have five airguns in the cupboard and no more, they would be, in no particular order:
Falke 80/90
FWB 124/127
FWB 150/300/300S
Pre-war BSA underlever in sporting pattern
Webley Senior
If I was able to have five more they would be:
FWB 65
Webley Mk2 Service
Diana 60/65/66/75 match rifle
HW55 Match
Air Arms Pro Sport
Vintage Airguns Gallery

In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

You can't say muntjack without saying mmmmm
Well if you don't want said MKII Service, I'd gladly give my mother's gravestone and maybe even one of my own body parts for it
The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.

I probably should not have sold my Crosman 600...I will never sell my HW55MM....or my FWB300S Junior.....I should probably have stopped at 3 x Webley Mark 3 instead of going on to 5... Should have kept my mint BSA Superstar...etc etc.. Kept my Mark 4 Martini Henry hidden in the garage until I was able to sneak into a wardrobe....perhaps I should join guncollectors anonymous!
