    QB57 Will it be collectable ?

    As a kid I would have loved this. Shooting quite well now it has had a proper lube. Anyone got suggestions for a long eye relief rifle scope, otherwise I will have to fit a pistol scope.

    This is the first time I have quoted scripture on a airgun forum:

    “When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways“

    I bought a long eye relief 2-7x32 Souforce scope on ali express for about 25 quid delivered.. I've got it mounted way forward on a browning sa22 to great effect.. simple crosshair testicle and light too.. it's not winning any quality competitions, but it's doing the job admirably for the price.

    Mark Ch 10 vse 15 "Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein"

    I don't like this rifle which belongs to my mate, but fortunately I love Jesus, and looking forward to seeing Him.

    It never entered their heads at the time that the old tinny Daisy guns and gats would be collectable.

    They stopped using testicle hairs for crosshairs as they were a bit crinkly.

    I am not a kid, but I have still come close to buying one a couple of times. Just for sxxts and giggles.

    It needs a medium-eye relief “Scout” scope. But they are rare and cost more (e.g. Leupold) than a Chinese springer. A red dot might be a fair choice.

    Thanks, you just reminded me I have a spare holographic sight that was fitted to my Crosman 111 that I sold to gingernut on here. It came from the USA, a good quality unit.

    It looks very much like an bullpupped FN FAL (SLR) that the Aussies produced at some point.

    I suppose China is closer to Australia than the UK, so they may have seen one.

    Personally I think collectability has four mainn components, quality, rarity, condition, & desireability. Components one, two, & three might be easier to judge than 'desireability'. To some an increase in rarity might increase the desireability even if the condition or quality is not particularly good. Leaving aside value which is too complex for me to fit into my simple view......a Webley mk 11 service rifle might be worth £500 to a collector but someone else might just view it as an archaic bygone & be unaware of its potential value to someone else. So what is it really worth? I guess it's worth what somebody is willing to pay for it at the time?
    Potentially I think just about anything can become collectible, it depends on the individual, but whether it becomes desirable to someone else is another matter.
