Milbro Repeater advice

[gwendog]

I was given a Milbro Repeater air pistol at the weekend. While it looks alarmingly like a real weapon, I suspect it's a piece of junk, probably best accidentaly dropped in the sea.

It isn't working, came with 3 screws, a spring, and the front barrel and pellet hopper in a bag. Cannot figure out how to get it together and, is it worth it anyway.

Advice welcome on either whether it's worth spending time on or not?

Hi. You're right, they're junk and worth about £20 even when working. Coincidentally I'm after one though!

IIRC, clamshell construction. So the left and right halves unscrew and then you fit the bits in and tighten them up.

Thanks. I shall take it out on the boat next time I'm fishing. It will doubtless make a reasonable weight for a lobster creel.

Would rather not risk placing it in a wheelie bin.

I had one back in the day and I loved it! The hopper is for BB's, and it could fire those almost to the end of the garden. If accuracy was required you could single load pellets, the pellets could be reused as it's a smoothbore and the velocity was so low they landed unmarked.

If you were quick you could run along and catch them before they hit the target and save them getting dirty.

I have the later chrome plated version, Just as crap but shinier! Still give you a good reason to go to the seaside. Just to Chuck it in. 😁

As ridiculous as this looks I agree. It could be part of someones collection, no airgun deserves throwing in the sea. Obviously that excludes the HW35. Not that the sea would want it
