    Black Major

    Hello gents. I have air rifle with a skeleton stock called a "Black Major" by "Millard Brothers". Can anybody give me any information plus a valuation? Regards Old Bull

    I think what you've got is a version of the Cougar Pistol made by Diana. Quite a rare but unpopular gun.

    This is the thing that had a sort of early 'heads-up' display sight, only worked in good light though as it was unpowered. Milbro's last gasp before they went under.

    In the loosest possible sense, yes. Kynamco bought the pellet making machinery and took on the manufacture of their line of pellets. Dave little is the owner of the company. Ben Taylor is part of the team, but it's not his company.
    The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.

    It looks very nice with that shoulder stock. I have 2 Cougars, one with wire stock, it looks a lot alike, but the Black Major is stunning.
    Pity I don't see them more often.
