    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!

    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

    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.

    IJ "I know where its twin is. " Next to the Gimp suit
    Very nice, were they factory for Beeman or a Macarri??

    Madcarlos, lovely rifle, do they shoot? Is the MKI the better or was the MKII the finished item. Rather like the quirky look to the point I might look for one.

    think going by the reviews the mk2 the better gun, these are very accurate rifles, you either love them or hate them , i must admit i really love this gun , the weight is just right for me to, out of the guns i have or have had in the past this is the one that people ask about when they see it ,

    I suspect Beeman as two were presented to Alan and Kevin at Manchester Airguns for services rendered in the selling of Beeman products.

    Venom prototype. No marking, no SN. Prototype Cobra or Sidewinder. Tomahawk based.
    I think early this century

    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?
