Reply With QuoteA thought. Long, long ago Ramsbottoms had for sale a few East German air rifles with a ventilated rib (its not what it seems) on the barrel. Is this an old commie monstrosity in a sexy new stock for the capitalist pigs to enjoy?

Award-winning Airgun Anorak
Uttings sold it as the MX Nighthawk, apparently. Not sure what sorry outfit actually made it.

In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.
His one man drag act at the dog and duck sells out every friday
On a positive note it does look in great condition.....I wonder why
Talking about "Wildlife"....it reminds me of that quote from Boris The Blade (Snatch)...."If it doesn't work....you can always hit them with it!!!"

Even the ad above says Umarex: 'MX Nighthawk from Umarex'. Maybe they thought that giving it a cool name like Nighthawk would make it more attractive.Pretty sure it said Umarex on the box Dan

JohnWonder what the MX stood for?

Never seen or heard of one of these rifles, but the moment someone points one out, I find one coming up at an auction (Ryedale auctioneers to be exact), Must be a sign!.......still not buying one

No bids, it's a steal. Plus a bag.

And if you put the bag over your head you wouldn’t have to look at the rifle.

I have one of these I think, it's mint although the box is shabby.. I say i think is because I have not looked at it in donkeys... Springers are not my thing... It's in 177 cal... But from memory it looks very similar..
