    my best wierd gun is a limited run conversion of deact AKM into Brocock air cart rifle.
    Mine was the only one made in .22 from approx 10 or so done.must make it a bit rare as you definitely cant buy them now

    .....or the conversion of a 1942 no4mk1 lee enfield by S&P who did about 200 but there will be very few of those left now..shame
    Gun control means using both hands.

    Olympic 11

    CO2 bulk fill semi auto. 80 shot removable mag,uses gamo ball in it's rifled barrel. Dates from the 60 - 70s

    They were used as fairground guns and have two sets of counters, one of which needs a special key to reset it,so that the stall owner knew how many shots had been fired and therefore how much money he should have.

    Not many about that are as good as this,so I doubt it ever made it to a fairground.

    I was offered one of those earlier this year at the bootsale, I tried telling the bloke that they were illegal to sell and that if he didn't apply for an FAC at the time when these guns were banned then he can't even own it himself!!!

    He wouldn't have it!! He said that because he bought it before they banned them that he was 'Allowed to keep it'!!

    It was like talking to a wall...

    A wall that knew everything and then some more besides

    Yes, Yes.... and No - You win a schnitzel !

    The MG34 detatches, leaving the Nurnberg mount in place, along with a thing called a "U supporter" to which can be mounted an airgun or a lamp, - or both.
    I used to use this on one of my permissions with a crew of 3 ( Driver, Gunner, Loader/fetcher/pusher on the back) With it's low revving Hi torque motor, Locking diff, reverse and 2 wheel drive It was the ideal mobile bunny hide

    The first rifle to be mounted was the AirArms Firepower, backed up by the driver and loaders Stutzens..... happy days......

    Does it run of an air horse remeber thre was a similar thing at Porthcawl/ maybe Barry Island
    in the 60,s to 80,s may have even been a Mc Glashan has it looked like a Thompsan sub machine gun.

    Originally it would have been off a CO2 hose. Mine has been fitted with a bulk fill adapter. So it can be filled and then shot wherever I choose.

    The Ampell BB Magnum BB repeater from 1970. A spring/piston mechanism and anything but a "magnum"!!
