    BUT IT'S GERMAN! and you know that's a big no no in my books

    There is that other thing that there might be a new British break barrel finally showing it's beautiful head soon

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

    The barrel on your ProSport is German, and the stock is probably Italian. So you are going to have to sell it back to me, yes?

    I think it's time you invested in a decent pre-War BSA. Get one that is not collector's grade, put in a nylon parachute, proper guides and spring and put a scope ramp on it. Then get a TX200 CD trigger unit and have that grafted on to it - T20 has one of these and it is pretty good. You can make up a full-length laminate stock made up for it. It will be as British as pork pies and I think you will like it. The build quality on some of those old BSA is truly remarkable.

    Nope it's staying with me, it's the last rifle I'd sell if I had to sell my collection.

    The pre war stuff don't really do it for me, the youngest rifle I'd consider is a mk1 Airsporter, I can't even put a bloody spring in a Theoben and get it to shoot properly let alone try and graft a different trigger onto another rifle.

    Diana Series 70 Model 71?

    The sexiest Milbro - British through and through...

    What is this new British break barrel you are hinting at? Is it made in China?

    If that's sexy then I'd hate to think what your ideal woman looks like

    The the new rifle that has been '' at by a certain teaser on here, certainly won't be Chinese connected hopefully (unless one of the machinists had a pot noodle for lunch), it probably won't happen and we're just being lead up the wrong path and a mk4 version of something else will be forced upon us instead.

    Well mine works Perfect and is full power and easy cocking for a carbine
    The Theoben That is !
    In fact if I go to the next Springer thingie (which I might ) I will bring it so you can all have a go
    It has a FWB Sport mainspring ( the loooooooong one ) but Mine has a pin holding the end Block rather than a circlip
