    I forget what I have Louis I've seen a crosman 100 in the US that I may make an offer on -if it's still there but it was a leaker and even at mates rates is still a bit spendy
    that's a nice looking late c series you have

    No, because they are by all accounts a bit rubbish.

    Actually I either put a low bid in on one at auction a while ago, or seriously considered doing so, but only because I wanted to experience the reported rubbishness and retain the option of selling it for at least what I’d paid.

    I ll just throw this into the mix, but John Bowkett made a few stunning single and multiple pump rifles and pistols.....one I now own along with a Genesis (3 times the weight)and a Daystate Sportsman mk 2......but the one I regret was a Laiser 12 I was offered way back and I declined

    Wasn't that the one the magazines admitted to cheating with when it came to the accuracy testing? I well remember reading about them and lusted after one.

    If I remember correctly, it was multi pump multi shot ? But each shot was different velocity, and yes I was guilty of lusting after one as well

    JB knew Adam Whaley and handled his personal Whaley Crosman at the shop in Hornsey. It dumped all the air with each shot and was fitted with a long .177" HW35E barrel. A bit different to the punters versions. There was also some dispute over one copying another with Marshall Crosmans, JB told me. Accuracy with those was not helped by the threaded holes for the rear sight screws going clean though into the rifling

    Information supplied by JB. The Laiser 12 was made by a chap named John Brown. He bought a compound lever 12 ft/lbs single stroke from JB. John Brown made his version of that but it didnt work so he approached JB with another design asking for help and advice. The result was the Laiser 12 on which he paid JB a licence fee for each rifle sold. That was 6 in all before John Brown stopped due to ill health. One of his customers for the Laiser 12 was a certain Graham Bluck. Say no more
