Any guns you dont like?

[ggggr]

Maybe it,s me but I dont like Gamo,s. I have done 5 paratroopers now (behave!) and swear that seen 4 different variants of them. done a couple of mk6 meteors, which I think are a good value for a 2nd hand gun but I dont like them. I have also done an ASI Magnum and a CF 20. The only reason I had the CF 20 for a bit was I quite liked the pop up breech and the feel of the gun with all the spacers I put in to get the tension on the spring. I just find them lacking in character really. Anybody else feel this about certain guns? I forgot to mention that I am not very keen on pump ups or Co2 either. had a 1377 and a 766, The 1377 I sold because I would have had to wait about 3 months to get the exhaust valve and the 766 I gave away. I dont like pumping (tennis elbow) and the lack of any recoil although I appreciate they can be a good tool. The build quality is crap (SELF TAPPING SCREWS!). I also did a Daisy 717 which I gave to my postie and a 922 that I gave to my Nephew. I do have a 1300 pistol paced away. After messing with some broken C02 Crosmans I decided they were not my thing although one for plinking may be on the cards in future. Never tried a pcp but it seems a lot of trouble to go to if you only want to kill tin cans and bottle caps. a sad man.

you had to ask that question,you know im still having counsiling,ive worked on a wide and various selection of a/g s but for some reason the paratrooper nearly bought me to my knees ,the trigger block how many types? that nasty little hair spring that catchs on a lump on the inside of the pressing or is it the sear worn,is the replacment main spring to powerful for the old sear mech,aaaaah i hate them .
apologys to those who have fond mems of these fun little plinkers ;was it just me ,i doubt it.

Relum.

HW-35. I'm left handed and the latch release is not enjoyable. I have to twist my wrist and it just doesn't feel comfortable.

I do have loads of HW-55's and that latch (further back) is easy to release.

And yes, I'm not a fan of Gamos, Turkey, or the Chinese stuff.

Not like Gamos? Philestine....the only airguns that I dont like shooting are PCPs....virtually anything with a spring will do except Red Bobs frankentstien of a creation.

Well Gents I have to say, Phillistine I may be but I am not fond of Relums, too much extra heavy wood and weld, and some of the Chinese stuff either, far too much weld and varnish, if thats what they call it.

Other than that anything goes really.

Add Webley (over barrel) pistols to that long list.

Add Webley (over barrel) pistols to that long list.

You are right.The Webley cocking method was not a great idea even though it enabled a pistol to be very compact.. More substantial barrels would have helped.All my .22 ones ended up banana shaped.The Winstar 550 was a more substantial effort.

Guns for youngsters with heavy horrible triggers. Again and again they are made to price. Grownups won't tolerate horrid triggers so why do starter guns have them. Makes my blood boil.
So many of us learnt to shoot despite this handicap.

I have no worries for "black gun" air rifles. The Jackal was great, though rubbish. Once no one had a problem with military rifle looks. If we had followed what the military used then we wouldn't be in half the trouble we are now. It would be "normal" rather than the the phobia about them now. Pandering to the anti gun lobby that has enjoyed their freedoms under the umbrella of the gun; we have the bigest gun so we are secure... just happens to be nuclear now (plus we do have a strong highly trained and effective military even if it is tiny). The "I don't like black guns" would be the mentality that would have us still using long bows!
