    I also think they are amongst the most attractive rifles to look at, but everyone has different tastes on that front. You can rattle off a magazine full very quickly should you so wish. The mk2 is my favourite rifle in my collection.
    Tinbum,

    I tried to PM you but I can't see the PM tab on your profile?. I may be selling my sumatra carbine (.20) in the next few weeks. It has a spare set of wood with it to preserve the "best set"
    PM me if you're interested buddy.

    I wouldn't say rare, they are still made and sold by Pax guns in London http://www.paxguns.co.uk/products.htm

    As is the Phoenix which basically has the same action. Admittidly don't come up second hand much.

    Dear Mr RW, as you clearly are a steely-eyed-springer-man...can I suggest that you take all shots standing on one leg from now on...to make it even more difficult for yourselves. That'll show the pneumatic poofters a thing or two about how it's done
    blah blah

    Update: I looked around hoping for something secondhand to come along. There was a similar gun in the right cal, but the wrong length, and the right gun that was the right length but the wrong cal!

    Then I got tempted by the Diana P1000, but interest in that didn't last for long once I saw it in action.

    Today I found a shop with a Sumatra .22 carbine in stock, the price was good, its the exact one I want so I bought it! It should be here Thursday after 2pm, so expect big whooping and a cross-border raid into Devon shortly after.

    Yeehaw!

    Could've got a Daisy Red Ryder. At least it would have been a springer. ;-)

    Number 3 but the second one built.

    I wanted it to be number 3 for personal reasons.
