    Never had the opportunity

    I don't and have never owned any air arms springers but I would really like to find a camargue, always been on my wish list. That one pictured is a stunner

    Ditto. Some carpet underlay in the stock area helps .....

    The side levers are not very refined by todays standards but do have a charm about tem.



    Top to bottom:

    Camargue
    Mistral
    Khamsin Mk1
    Khamsin Mk2

    Mechanism looks a bit Webleyish. Will sell at Kempton I feel.

    I did a deal with a guy last year for both the Khamsins & the Camargue. Why do you ask?

    I had a Hi-Power . It had a full length Gunpower (Gunsport ?) silencer. L1A1 sling . a laser sight under the barrel but inside the stock and hole drilled for the beam to come out and a Nikko Sterling 3-9x50 scope .


    I fitted a Theoben Gasram into it also and it shot great .

    I swapped it for a Radio scanner .Stupid stupid stupid

    All in .22. I'd love to drop on a couple of .177 side levers but they are a rare find.

    Wanted to try it for grouping with scope fitted, but I think a normal scope would not suit. Think an Elcan Specter DR looks better on it?

    Make and Mend afternoon, cleanest 7.62 in the squad stuffed in back of cupboard. Everything ironed to the size of the Globe and Laurel.
