    Unknown air rifle

    Evening all

    There is an interesting air rifle advertised for sale on Guntrader (26th jan) described as" unknown .22 air rifle with air cannister bolt action"
    I've looked at the picture's but cannot identify it but then I'm no expert,it might be worth a look for any body interested,

    Cheers Graham

    '...air cannister...'. I hope they dont mean the Saxby & Palmer cartridge system. Galaxy rifle?

    I remember these for sale, sure they were some sort of takedown rifle.
    Can't mind the name though.

    It says Co2 and looks like a homebuilt special, with a Webley break-barrrel stock, the rest or most of it looks self built/assembled.

    It looks like one of Robin Chainey's rifles.

    If you Google image Robin Chainey rifle you'll see this gun being linked back to previous posts on here and other forums. On here it is mainly 'commameister' Geddfinn posting about it and others from the Chainey stable.
