    How the hell did this happen?

    I joined the BBS a few years ago to track down a couple of air rifles I had as a teenager as I am sure others have done. I still have not got a couple but they will turn up I am sure....but in the meantime I have gathered a horde! My list was rather strict and so far I have two of the six rifles that were on it....has this happened to anyone else? I need to extend the house just to give them room!

    Thumbs up

    Ha ha ha!!

    It creeps up on you Karl!!

    I'm at 134 and I know a fella that has so many that if he shot one per day it would take him well over two years to use every gun in his collection!!

    He seems to add at least a couple every week!!

    This is a very few of what I have now, It's the GAS that I suffer from!! (Gun Acquisition syndrome!!)

    Emphasis on A....so how many now? I would guess 2 or 3? Just like animals the rarer rifles are hard to breed in captivity, my Jackal has spent too much time alone...

    Err......yes.

    Got given a Haenel 303S in pieces. Soon afterwards, affected by the joy of taking up shooting once more, I started looking for a BSA Airsporter S. Just a rifle I liked the look of, to keep the other company. A few years down the line, and having got interested in pre-war BSA rifles and then acquired the odd pistol, the collection has grown. Now includes Haenel, Diana, Weihrauch, BSA, Webley, Umarex, SMK, Hyscore. Nowhere near catching up johnbaz yet but I'm running out of places to put them!

    More evidence that I am actually in control of collecting airguns. it was having to move them today that made me think things should be calmed down a little...but now that you mention the Airsporter S....

    By coincidence Ian, I only joined so that I could get a new cylinder for my 35 to deal with a rat problem.
