    Nah, don't believe you Gareth

    I once read a book which closed with the statement that a true collector's collection is never complete, as the next acquisition is waiting for you....just around the next corner.

    Kind regards,

    John

    I forgets how many times Ive told myself my collection is complete. It IS - until I see/hear of another must have item.

    Ive now restricted myself to 'One in - one out'. Thats the best I can hope for.

    So, I.J., what did you sell to make way for the Fwb Sport you just bought off me?
    The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.

    A very tidy Airsporter S in .177 I had a duplicate of. The one I’m keeping is boxed.

    Gareth can I respectfully suggest you spend some time browsing in my vintage airguns gallery? By the end of it you should have a whole new wishlist. (That's what happens to me anyway - I hardly dare go in there. )

    I can explain the Webley Tomahawk with the tatty beech stock which I bought on Friday. Well, I felt sorry for it.

    I often rescue guns that need a bit of tlc.
    Get them sorted and sell them at a loss.

    It's not collecting !

    Wish I was in your shoes, all the rifles I'm after seem to be a bit elusive or when I've had the chance to buy them in the past, I've not had the money.

    Pete
    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    Ha ha. Hi John. Yep you make a set of very valid points my friend, so all I gotta do is choose my corners carefully.
