    the most odd gun you own

    ok heres a differnt one for you mine is a nickel plated Anschutz 275 ,4.4 mm ball shot repeter. It owes its ancestry to the German designer Schmiser when he worked at Haenel between the wars. 6 shot mag ( plan to get some larger mags from Protec) when funds allow. Its not powerful but is very accurate at close range. From talking to someone who would know it was used as a basic trainer for the German Army and the Hitler Youth I hate the Nazis but wont hold that against the gun which like all German and especcialy Anschutz products are superb..

    I think you're talking about the Haenel Sport Modell 33, which was made in adult and junior versions, and fired 4.4mm lead balls. Your LG275 is a copy of the Haenel, as you suggest.

    Probably my oddest gun is my Walther LP52 - so 'odd' I've never seen another, in fact.

    This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future! Adolph Hitler – 1933

    The Healthways Topscore 175 BB gun.

    The spring & piston are in the grip, you cock it by pulling the barrel up & back. The approx 50 BB's are in the shroud around the barrel & one is loaded when the barrel is closed.
    It's not too pretty, made of lots of pot metal castings with little power & indifferent accuracy - but pefect for destroying the Airfix armada at the other end of the bedroom.

    I vaguely remember buying it from Dennis Hiller, he had dozens of them, when he had his shop in Whittle-le-Woods. I often went there with no intention of buying owt but coming away with summat.

    I had one of these at a time when I'd started to collect pistols, and surprisingly, this was the most fun to shoot out of all of them.
