    I sincerely hope you are wrong. The limited blurb I have seen makes subtle references to hand guns of the era, so we will just have to wait and see: roll-on Friday when all will be revealed.

    Do you have a link for that blurb?

    This is all I've seen (see at bottom): https://s18.postimg.org/q13xke4k9/12...7134318_E7.jpg

    Yep, seen that poster which was what whetted my want appetite so very much (am a sucker for a story, me, lol), which is what sent me wibblywobblyinterweb surfing.

    Can't locate the on-line flyer I saw, now, but it was detailing the launch at the NEC Shooting Show, and I doubt very much that BSA would put so much R&D time and money into launching anything other than an air gun, and sincerely hope I'm not wrong?

    Friday in two days however, so all will be revealed then. My money is on a retro learly 20th Century auto hand gun styled over-lever springer pistol, but as long as it is an air or Co2 gun, am more than happy to be proved quite quite wrong.

    Shhhh! The walls have ears! Or is that potatoes? "The walls have potatoes!"? No, that doesn't sound right. Must be ears!

    Whatever it is there will be a very vocal group crying "Shame!" and "Booooooo!" Plus another shouting "Hurrah!" And singing well into the night.

    I just wanted to be the first onto the bandwagon so I've slipped that post in so I can make my mind up then go and edit the post I made on page 1

    Simples!
