Gamo Centre and Target Pistol

[I. J.]

Crossing his palm with a reasonably large piece of silver might be more effective. ...

An El Gamo Centre loading port made out of silver? Now theres a thought.

I still think steel or ally would be more suitable.

Have you tried the Blue Peter website to see if they ever made one out of plasticine and an old yoghurt pot?

Kind regards,

An alloy loading port sound's good - looks like your pal could have a bulk order brewing-up.

The Model 65 I bought from BBS last Friday arrived today and is very good - but the reason for mentioning it on this thread is that it came with a very interesting little price booklet form ASI dated November 1984.

Retail Prices:-

Centre Air Pistol £37.00.
Falcon Air Pistol £28.00.

Compared to:-

£237.82 for a Model 65 with anatomical grip,
£249.29 for a Model 80 with anatomical grip,
£255.06 for a CO2 Model 2 with anatomical grip.
£289.50 for a Model 90 with anatomical grip.

All prices taken from the same ASI price list.

The GAMO Centre and Falcon models really were very cheap pistols ( the Target had not been made yet in 1984) and so it is even more surprising that all these years later they are still probably the best target "kickers" available !
