I had abit of a break away from our hobby when I was going through a divorce and like most in a similar position I had to sell most of what I owned which included a number of Air rifles and pistols that I had collected over the years. I was able to get back into it with rifles such as though above requiring more than just a little love, basically I had time but little money. I know the above is all abit tongue in cheek but let’s not forget that not all of us collect Mk1 and 2 Webley Rifles and Mil Pats etc. Although a few years on I can now afford the odd nicer rifle here and there money is still tight and I have as much enjoyment at finding a basket case as something much nicer, the history of the piece is no less due to its condition.
I have attended virtually every Kempton Fair and have walked away with something every time and in all conditions and without the likes of Mr and Mrs Binners taking the chance and putting it together we would have precious little ‘darn sarf’ so I for one am happy that there are a range of items to suit all pockets and tastes.
Just for the record the motley crew above in my humble opinion are all worthy of saving

Oh dear, take another look, this is a barrel from HW35. The BSA rifle is cold blued with G96 Gun Creme. Rust removed with coarse wire wool.

One looks like it was hidden in the toilet for safe keeping.

Thats the new "safe" paint stripper that takes all night to work, not like the good old stuff. Just like all the "safe" disinfectants they now use in hospitals, I used to like the smell of Dettol and Carbolic soap when you walked in. Now you can't smell anything and people get sick just visiting ! Anyway back to the bargains, you can pick up some at our rubbish tip, the most common item very occasionally is the HW 35 for average £18. They don't realise how expensive the parts are even if the rifle is in a terrible condition.
