    My scruffy, beaten old .22 BSA Meteor. It was scruffy and beaten when I got it, and there was play in the hinge so it was only any good with open sights. It dispatched many rabbits and I'd like to still have it for nostalgic reasons.

    The other two that I let go, Custom B2 .177 and HW35 .177. Both crap. Both scrapped. Glad to see the back of them!

    No my nicest one but one I liked .

    Air arms Hi-power. Awt gas ram fitted by myself. Nikko sterling scope (can't remember the model) red laser sight inside the front hand guard. L1a1 green sling. And one of those gunpower full length silencers.

    Loved that rifle . Stupidly swapped it as I was hardly using it as I was into mountain bikes then.

    Over many years I've bought and sold many rifles. Mostly sold them with no regrets- except one.

    A B&M bullpupped TX200 MK2 in 177. Laser like accuracy, perfect balance and looked so cool. Every week I ask myself 'why' ?

    Sold it to someone on here- if it's you and you want to move it on, get in touch and I'll buy it back!

    1960's Diana

    Found a little unmarked Diana break barrel once and didn't know what to do with it .
    Must have been 60's or 70's at least and what you could call a junior airgun .
    Decided to strip the stock , oil and clean up .
    It was low power and a .22 but I remember plinking with it in the garden thinking what a sweet little gun .
    It went in a swop .
    Bizarrely its the one airgun I can't get out of my mind after all these years .
    So simple , yet so much fun .

    Theoben Sirocco 2000 in 22.

    I sold it because it kept losing pressure.

    But it was a lovely gun, and I should have kept it.

    Have regretted selling it for the best part of 20 years.

    I really miss my Handguns

    Rifles, well today I let go a Park 93. Miss the BSF S70, Webley Vulcan and Vicount deluxe, but then I had made the decision not to collect mint rifles in numbers. Air Logic Genesis was the nicest looking rifle I ever let go, only match by a BSA Centenary. Pretty nice Airsporter S too.
    One I'm annoyed about is the last BSA Mercury with similar build to the S, in walnut; just think it would have made a great rifle to have tuned up fully. I let it go because I thought I wanted a Challenger!

    Oh well.
