Guns you are a sucker for?

[ggggr]

As a lot of you know, I play around with a lot of olde crap guns and sometimes ask for help with the bits and pieces ( still not sorted with the cadet major bits yet ----hint) on here. I have had a lot of crap guns through my hands and it has been interesting and a cheapish, useful way to do the "idiots guide". BUT are there any guns that you are a sucker for?
I reckon I have 2 weaknesses with them (1) Bsa scorpions (2) Webley falcons. The trouble is the more crappy they are the more I want adopt them. I have a soft spot for most abused guns 20- 100 years old but these two tug at my heart strings. I did really well not phoning about the falcon on gunstar the other day.
had 3 really rough falcons off here and a few rough scorpions as well. My favourite is a rough old thing but I love plinking with it. It has decent open sights on it but if you saw it you would not want to pay more than about £30 for it---not that it is for sale.
Sp what are yours?

my soft spot has got to be with the relums ,,,,i have 2 tornado,s but had the break barrel one but passed it on as it was needing lots of work , i just did not get the time , but ad one years ago and remember with the spring we stuck anything into it as long as it would load then swapped the barrel for a 177 , was approx 34 years ago that gun must have been a bit over the limit if there was one at that time but it took some real abuse ,,,,,

i also love my crossman 2200 magnum which i just bought

and i seen one of these handguns the other day which i had but i also had the metal rod stock which came with it , was a cougar , not sure the make but came across a pic of one the other day ,,,,still cant remember what happened to it MILBRO COUGAR

WEBLEY SERVICE Mk2 Rifles are my weakness, Got my first one for £7 in 1956(aged 16),long gone(very sad story) Got back into airguns about 3years ago, since then i have bought- series 2, in 22, series 3 in 22, cased series 3 with 177 and 22 matched barrels, series 3 in 22,and a series 3 in 25.I am now considering Mk2 aversion therapy,(available on the NHS i believe) but i think i am to far gone for help.I hope this is a warning to other Mk2 addicts.( leaving more Mk2,s for me to buy)ATB Ray.

I feel it is only right that I should mention the Feinwerkbau Sport.

I keep wanting to buy any Feinwerkbau 300 rifles that I see advertised. They are the perfect shooting machine, and the power restriction is the only down-side.

I feel the same about BSA Meteors, brilliant, cheap guns, and although the power is not a problem, the heavy trigger is.

The Webley Hawk Mk 3 is one of the most horrible guns ever made and on a level with the B2. I could not get attached to one of those things ever, and it is a tribute to Guy's generous spirit (in an engineering sense) that they are favoured and fettled by him. Even a Relum Tornado has the virtue of robust construction, while the Hawk 3 is an accident waiting to happen. Webley's lowest moment.

[Garvin]

My main weakness is pre-WW2 air rifles.

Oh, and post-WW2 ones.

[Herpquest]

It's just got to be Feinwerkbau Sports for me - and FWB target rifles - and HW35's - and Sharps,Sheridans,Benjamins etc;etc. and Uncle Tom Cobly's and all, and.
Why did you have to start this thread Guy?

[edbear2]

Obviously prewar B.S.A.'s.......and Airsporter MK 1's......although I don't own a Mk 1 at the mo.....Have had a few, but a really nice example of a Club is the one I am waiting for

[magicniner]

I'm a sucker for good engineering, interesting engineering and quirky engineering so my fascination for SSP rifles and CO2 pistols is logical if not sensible
