    A brilliant find! I suddenly realised I wasn't blinking and my mouth was wide open as I was looking at them! It's like looking at the Argos and Index catalogues from the 80's, but better

    Good read, thanks for posting!
    Interesting to see which gun shops are still about and which aren't.
    Good deals with these members

    Yes a lovely find and thankyou.

    Weird to look at the old 77s in the black and white ads with the Tyrolean stock and Muzzle Brake ... and then look over to the corner of the room and there's one staring back at me.

    Reminds me of all the old adverts I used drool over as a kid in the fishing /angling weeklys back in the 80's, my god haven't things come a long way since with the internet, to think that is how lots of shops got their business by mail order out a magazines..

    Great to see all of the true great airguns of the 70s and 80s in all of their glory once again. I always fancied the Normay Vixen but would have had to have worked more overtime than I could manage to afford one. I should have worked harder I reckon.
