    The price must be index linked to the Parker-Hale Dragon

    I'm watching that index very closely as I have a PH Dragon in the portfolio

    Me too, I think his price might be about right provided someone actually wants the extras.
    I'd like a Mohawk and an Air Logic Genesis but they don't turn up often, ideally I could do with swapping a good JB1 for a Mohawk but what's the chances of that?

    Soooo nearly bought a Mohawk a couple of years back myself - that said, if you could find one, I reckon keeping hold of a good JB1 is more sensible than a swap for an unknown Mohawk

    An Air Logic Genesis would be very nice - but as you say, few and far between (there is actually a buyers guide for these posted in the collectables section - I just had a read!)

    All of the ssp rifles are not common and I think very definitely only appreciating in vale.

    I'd love a .177 Dragon with Mr Wilkes mk2 special adjustments in the ft stock (probably a bit less common than a genesis!)

    My Dragon needs a strip as it is valve locked again after I put it away right way up (or in the case of a dragon definitely the wrong way up!) in the rack over night and not horizontal on the top shelf in the cabinet.
    I would love to know what fettling was done by the Parker Hale wizard to resolve the hydraulic lock issue - I've looked but decided never to touch and just store correctly (usually!)

    I've got a mint JB-1, a very good JB-1 and a restoration project - complete & working but in need of a reblue so swapping the good one for a Mohawk in the right condition would make sense
    My Dragon lives in the gun rack with all my other rifles, it's not had any problems so far.
    I suspect initial -lubing might be the root of the problem, there shouldn't be enough oil in an SSP to collect anywhere!

    That is interesting - I shall be a lot more sparing in the rebuild thanks for the heads up

    That could be an interesting thread starter - one of anything is plenty, two might be considered decadent but three is definitely cause for concern

    I wonder what else people will have 3 of?

    Whats the difference between the Makarov mag & The (kalashnikov)Yunkers 3 mag ?

    The Yunkers 3 makes around 250 Fps & I read higher numbers for the short barreled pistol ,
    There does seem a lot of space around the BB into the barrel though !
    Anyone got a spare Yunkers 3 magazine ! For an upgrade, ( Yes , I know & pigs may fly ) Cheers Ged.
