    IJ, they make psychedelic 35's because they know they can sell at least two! One to you and the other to a Germany who wears a Gimp suit at weekends. Stop encouraging them!
    (Sorry, didn't get back to you on your kind offer to look for a Optima part. Its been on my to do list; just need to find my daughters camera).

    For me my Park 91/93.

    I have a couple mentioned above (showing off)

    But how about 1998 HW 77K LE.
    .22 laminated but nice brown stock rather than the alarming ones you often see.
    Only 168 made If I remember right

    Gimp suits or HW35's?
    Think I'll stop with this line of jokes now

    I too have one of the above, S/No:1458886 purchased from JSR. I too like the natural wood grain laminated stock rather than other specials.

    I have total number down as 163, with two lots of batch numbers, as there were initially only supposed to be 100 made, but extra stocks were produced leading to extra rifles.
    Batch numbers were: 1458842 - 1458941 and 1459688 - 1459752

    IJ, I quite like your 95. The Omega is very special too.
    Reminds me of the Original 45 Jubilee, which was not the best way to do a special. Walnut with some colour is the way to do it. A walnut stripy FWB Sport, Original 45, Webley Omega and maybe a modern HW springer would have been the pinnacle of these rifles; but they never did any real run, if at all.

    Now to find a mint thumbhole Park.

    Ive also got a gaudy HW95 http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Airs...ml?sort=6&o=62 and the prototype of thhe Webley Omega.http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Airs...ml?sort=6&o=78 Even rarer - Ive got a Wobbly Webley pistol that works although I have found better use for it - http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Airs...l?sort=6&o=132

    Why would I need a Gimp jacket when my straight jacket is sufficient?

    hi i have had this for about 2 years i think which i bought it off a chap on this site, i did fancy one but never seen one in the flesh anyway i took a chance and bought it , must say i was not disappointed at all and the accuracy is what these seem to be known for , very accurate, think i have only put about 200/300 pellets through it in the time i have had it , everyone who has seen it always comments on it , i like the handling on it and the cocking of it is just amazing , they do need high mounts or scope risers , i was going to buy a spare buddy bottle but instead bought a 500cc top up bottle , its taking me all this time to decide on weather to put a sling on it but dont really want to alter it in anyway , dont really see many of these advertised second hand for sale , only thing is a mag of pellets dont last long , i do mostly plinking and if a can or something i put up as a target you find you wont just shoot it once or twice you will empty the mag at it, ,mine is 177 and 70/80 yards is still very good grouping
