    Quite a few actually. A reasonable Airpsorter which I bought for £30, a BSA Cadet Major for £20, a nice cammo dipped HW77 for £70 and a very nice HW35 which cost £90. All in all it used to be well worth a look but less so these days.

    Once ! - We brought a small writing desk. It made a clonking noise every time we lifted and moved it. It had a secret draw and inside was......A Webley Mk11 Target pistol

    Sold it to a member on here several years ago !

    Not a thing but Mark's Webley MK2 story is the kind of thing that inspires me to keep looking. Well done mate!

    At "pure" car boots...Loads!...Various BSA underlevers, a 15th century Japanese Wazasaki short sword brought back from Burma in WW2 (not strictly airgun, but I sold it and bought a nice rifle). Original 50b, all sorts of Parker Hale sights and bits, various shooting books, Brady slips by the bootload (well maybe 10 over the years), 2 x Webley pistols, tons of old pellet tins, A Mk 1 airsporter, a Mk3 Mercury,a couple of P/H spotting scope stands, various scopes from the normal 70's generic BSA / Webley branded jap ones, to decent American and German stuff.

    I can't even remember really all of it

    And that's before you mention the local Flea Market which can be spectacular...or a wasteland gun wise

    I am lucky in that I live in a fairly rural area, not far from the Welsh border area so have a choice of several boots to chose from, all of which regularly see old boys in tatty old landies turn up with clear out stuff that has not seen the light of day for years, also this a totally H+S / Bul**** free zone so you seem to be able to sell anything and no-one bats an eyelid.

    I have seen all sorts in my local travels

    ATB, Ed

    Thumbs up

    Yep!

    I've had all sorts from the bootsales in the past including guns, pellets,scopes, knives and all sorts of non shooting related stuff too!

    I met a chap at my local bootsale and bought a couple of guns from him then one day he handed me list of guns that he was selling! in total i've probably bought a dozen or more guns from him, the most cherished prize being a nicely etched Webley Mk1 air rifle, I've also bought from him a BSA Airsporter mk1 in number one bore, an ASI Statical, several Webley overlever pistols, A BSA Cadet, Webley Hawk, I bought several silencers, tins of pellets, Binoculars among other stuff!!

    I've been tio his house several times and he's a really interesting bloke, he built himself a workshop and has a large Boxford lathe, milling machine, grinders, drills, everything in there is proper industrial quality stuff! nothing from the Aldi in sight!!

    He has a mahoosive collection of airguns still including some that i've never heard of before, and some that he's made himself!

    I promised the wife that i'm not buying any more as they're taking up too much room but he has a nice Original mod50 that I fancy, and a few more Airsporters, and the one that i'd not heard of before and a couple of Service rifles and..... and.... and



    John..
