    Exclamation Omg !!!

    .
    Following a resent behind the scenes deal with BBS member Troubledshooter (my 'Go To' man for anything Webley ), and a separate deal with BBS member les allam today for a walnut FN19 .177 (as personally, I see these as being among the imminent 'must have' collectables of the future) -- and all hot on the heels of having to sell a few bits to fund my daughter's Barcelona school trip (which, since pay day, I have replaced) -- I am currently (currently ) in a position I don't think I have EVER been in before, namely: at present, there is not a single air gun on my wish list, as for the first time in m own living memory, I actually own/have in my cabinets/locked pistol boxes/hidden in that secret place (lol), an example of every air gun I currently want, bar none ... Now I acknowledge that this is most likely just an information gathering glitch before my airgun thirst again needs metaphorical quenching, but seriously, anyone else out there at an 'Airgun Collection Complete' level? For it is very unsettling !!!

    Good news Gareth, have you got an HW77 Airmasters FTS? I saw one yesterday and I need to have one now. Tomorrow is another day with new desires. Ha!

    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.

    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.

    Are you sure about that ?
    I still have very nice boxed pre-war straight grip and slant grip Seniors, should you not already have them, plus boxed Tin Grip Junior, along with a few boxed Premiers, which I am sure you already have.

    Lol. Got a nice straight grip already, not a fan of Juniors (or Typhoons or Hurricanes come to that) but, err, could maybe be up for a minty boxed Mk.II .177 Premier in the not too distant future now you come to mention it?

    Oh bugger !!! ... Well that didn't last very long, did it ???

    I've got a couple of boxed Mk.2 Premiers, but I'm not sure of their condition so I'll have to dig them out
