Cheap to me (£70 for a mint, pre-owned one from that nice chap, Mr Greengrass) but maybe not so widely and cheaply available new now........
My little CZ Slavia 634...... 25mm bore, rear piston bearing, solid manual breech latch. Twanged like a good 'un when I got it. Mr Bum made me up a guide and top hat which hugely transformed its firing manners into something most refined. Doing high 11s and feels like it's doing much less. Very accurate and forgiving.
THE BOINGER BASH AT QUIGLEY HOLLOW. MAKING GREAT MEMORIES SINCE 15th JUNE, 2013.
NEXT EVENT :- May 4/5, 2024.........BOING!!
Cheers, Chris.
I seem to remember Dave, Trumpetier, was chasing one? Can't remember if he managed to buy it or not? Having said that, even if he had bought it, the little bounder has probably sold it by now!
Mr Budd had a very nicely fettled 631 which I think a Boingerman may have bought from him?
And Les's Air Arms break barrel prototype, based on a Slavia action with a CD trigger, is absolutely sublime.

That's the very one that I've got via Paul (Dayglowfroggy), Tony. That wee Slavia shoots superbly...an absolute tack-driver.
Also another heads up for the Baikal IJ -38.... they're great wee rifles to shoot as well.
They're a lot of satisfaction to be obtained from a so-called 'budget' air rifle when it produces the goods.

yeah, that slavia 631 was great. Had to shorten and recrown, and sleeve the port IIRC, but afterwards it was a very nice little shooter... superdomes IIRC..
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
