    Indeed it is, and indeed you do. For this is our cyber sanctuary where we can converse with kindred spirits (and snuffle-up the odd addition for our collections along the way, too, lol). Yep, we in here are beyond hope, doomed if you will (and I'd not have it any other way ) ...

    I admit to being an 'Airsporteritis' sufferer for more years than I care to admit to!

    Incurable supposedly!

    I've just about got over my Webley obsession. 3x HW30s, an HW50 and a 99 have made a great impression, and the money generated has bought me a Swedish Mauser. If I can finally convince myself to buy an HW35 and get rid of my Osprey I'll be cured

    I'm limiting my buying to one a year (unless I have a plentiful amount of funds) and only buying the rifles I've really been after for years that have been hard to find, last year was the Supersport custom which has taken me 18 years to find (since I saw a photo in one of the mags in 1999) and last week saw me getting a Airsporter RB2 carbine which I had one back in the 90's and sold it on and has took me all this time to find another, so as soon as my Theoben conversion is done, the RB2 will be getting looked at

    I now only have British rifles in my collection as my Diana 34 went to JB a few weeks ago.

    Pete
    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
