    The guns you allways wanted but never got

    I have now most of the rifles I lusted after in my youth, they are ,
    Fwb 127 & 124
    Hw35e
    Hw35vixen luxus
    Airsporter s

    Would never part with these now .
    Other guns I also have which I did own as a teenager are
    Original 45
    Airsporter mk2
    Hw80
    I would also love to own a mastersport Fwb and who knows may one day get lucky .
    But for me the Hw35e is in my eyes still the best springer ever!
    Then again I am tempted to get a AA prosport , lovely looking rifle .

    Wanted, but never got...

    Hmm, for years I wanted an early Webley Mk3 - thanks to this site I now have one A Mk3 Supertarget would be nice...or a Service Mk 1 or 2...On the pistol front, had Webley Juniors, Mk1 & Hurricane, a Premier or Senior would have been liked...
    When I was growing up, a Relum Tornado or ASI Paratrooper.
    Now, an early '50/60's Airsporter is on my wish list, & my wife has said she'll buy me one for my birthday...
    Webley Mk3 x2, Falcon & Junior rifles, HW35x2, AirSporter x2, Gold Star, Meteors x2, Diana 25. SMK B19, Webley Senior, Premier, Hurricane x 2, Tempest, Dan Wesson 8", Crosman 3576, Legends PO8.

    I've still got, or have owned and sold, pretty much all the rifles I lusted after as a youth. The Feinwerkbau match springers seemed like the Rolls Royces of the day in the late '70s and it took me 30-odd years to get my hands on examples. They didn't disappoint and I recommend that every airgunner fires one at least once - probably before going on to find one for yourself.
