    Nice FB Record Jumbo for sale

    One for the more discerning collector this time....

    What is reputed to be the world's smallest rifled spring-piston air pistol - the FB Record Jumbo.

    Pictures of the gun can be found here :

    The gun is a quality item, made in West-Germany and for those unfamiliar with the model, there is a good article here : http://www.cinedux.com/resources/Rec...0s922x1314.jpg

    The pistol is in very good condition, has chequered walnut grips and even a pellet store in the grip.
    It all functions as intended and whilst my chrono is on the fritz, test firing it into a piece of softwood buries the .177 pellet 3/4 of its length which would indicate it's pretty healthy internally too.

    As these come up on here so seldomly in this condition, I'm a little unsure where to pitch this at...But the scarcity and quality of construction suggests to me that £100 plus £11 RMSD if required is a very fair price.

    That thing is an actual toy, you can see the shot in flight from the point it leaves the barrel!

    The Jumbo is like a funky Eurotrash version of the Tempest. 'alooooo
