    Guns you are a sucker for?

    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?

    The BSA Mercury. Not the best airgun to use, but in appearance, very much the Ford Escort of airguns I think, i.e a design that has stood the test of time.

    as above

    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
