    And yes, Les, I was one of the fortunate few that had a go with yours at the last Bash. Thank you. It was excellent and certainly far better than I expected. And, in Buccaneer format, the firing cycle was so much sweeter and more benign than I remember the handful of a pistol demonstrating.
    Hi Tone
    Apart from meeting some fabulous people ,like your Good self at the Boinger bash, it's also a great opportunity to have a go with some rare and unusual airguns that you may have only seen in photos or read about.I do love the older airguns.

    Got to bring my scorpions and buccanneer to the next bash - personally I think they are both quite nice to shoot - in fact i can't think of any current competition for either...
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Diana LP5M (discontinued) or LP8M. I particularly want one of the former, to compare to my Scorp.
