Sods law again! third dibs please!
"..it does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds.."
20 minutes before it sold....frankly I'm surprised at how long this one hung around for
Good find , I have the version Peter Marshall made under His own name, enjoy
Can we have an image or two when all the comotion settles - " Calm Down ! calm down !! "
Is this one in the brass casing and walnut ?

Very nice indeed ! Love the look . Did they really recast the action in brass or is it plated ? The stocks - I remember reading that you could have a choice - oak , walnut , fancy beech .
No, they are not cast in brass sadly, just painted I think. From memory , they were advertised as being available in several different colours and different wood stocks. Customised to the customers requirements.
It is a shame the rifle never lived up to the hype as regards its performance, which is why so few were made.
Mine has been adjusted so that it gives 800 fps on 10 easy pumps....no second shot. I cannot see how it would ever give 2 shots at 11 ft.lbs from 20 pumps as the air chamber is too small to deliver sufficient volume. Accuracy is good, whilst not outstanding. But, I like to use it as a shotgun, firing 4 bb at a time........it's fun.
Pete.
Cant seem to post any pics of my Marshall version sorry.
