Favourite custom springer

[Craig-P]

Abit of fun folks. This may surprise a few folks but my favourite custom springer is.....
Airmasters HW77K FTS. Yes it's not a venom!! That's 2nd. Venom trophy 77 FTX.
I remember reading John Avons report back in the day and always wanting one. Having held and tried John's old rifle it really was the dog's.
Don't make them like that anymore as the FTS stock was my favourite custom stock of all time.
Mach 1.5

Best of both worlds here: Venom Mach 1 77 in an AirMasters FTS stock.

So whats the difference with a Airmasters chameleon and a FTS the stock looks the same

A chameleon has interchangeable barrels on a 77 model which are otherwise welded in and in my case has an FTS stock which is adjustable for field target shooting.

I have a FTS 77 with a Baush and Lomb 6X24 fitted on it cutting edge in the early 80,s I don't use it very often as I find it short in length of reach .

As my buddy Fozzy has said the chameleon had interchangeable barrels, Fozzy has .177 and .20 with his rifle, my chameleon has all four barrels, .177, .20, .22 .25
I’m inches away from securing Number 3 chameleon that my father bought new from Airmasters but sold it back in 1990

Just found a picture of the FTS and it looks stunning. Out of interest what would one cost?

This one is mine. I know they say it's only worth what someone is prepared to pay. If, and I say IF I was stupid enough to sell this I wouldn't let it go for less than £2000.
You might say, wow, how come so much.?
I know of Venoms that have sold for over £1000. I sold a venom hunter for nearly a £1000 last year so something as special and rare, 1 of only 9 made chameleons, I think it's worth it personally.

Hmmmm ... I have two beautifully tuned, beautiful looking tuned rifles which haunt me for letting them go to mention, here:

1) A Venom stage one tuned (complete with Twin Cobra emblem/motif) Webley & Scott Stingray Venom Special in .22, and ...

2) An SFS stage two tuned (complete with Sandwell Field Sports emblem/motif) Webley & Scott Longbow in the most beautiful of grade one walnut stocks ...

I have a Walthar LGV Master Pro in .177 arriving tomorrow, however, so hopefully, once said LGV is in my mitts, my wailing and gnashing of teeth over the loss of both the aforementioned, will abate?

Well as said on my LGV thread, today is a good day, for not only has my LGV as detailed above arrived (), but also, the current owner of my old SFS tuned Webley Longbow has just offered to let me buy it back to boot (thanks Blackrider aka John ). Yes indeed, today is a very good day, a very good day indeed.

What a wonderful set of events; you must be well made up, Gareth.

And what a wonderful gesture from the gentleman Mr Blackrider.

Wonderful place, the BBS.

Boinger Bash soon, Gareth?
