Used to love the old g10 repeaters and wondered if anyone had one
How strange no one has owned up to owning one of these. I was given one for Christmas when I was about 12 (???) ... a Diana one, most likely bought from a 'catalogue'. I still have it; box a bit tatty though. I remember I made a backstop from a cardboard box stuffed with rags and fixed targets over the front with sellotape. Box was put on my bed and I shot across the landing to the box. Oh such fun.
Cheers, Phil
I've owned several over the years and still have one somewhere. It shoots darts into a dartboard quite accurately at 4 yards. Used to really look the part too back in the day.

I have one of the old ones and a newer Sportsmarketing branded one.Both good fun and boxed.
Coopers in Northgate street 1972,I bought one brand new.
Brought it home and two brick layers working on the yard tested it by shooting each other.

I still have mine from when I was young, I would not like to say how much use its had over the years but it was always great fun,
I have one from the early nineties, marked simply G10 Repeater on one side and Huntington Beach CA on the other side. It has no other branding.
People say the G10 can't shoot its way out of a wet paper bag but that's not the case with mine. I can mount a target on a cardboard box with a cushion inside and hit it at 6 yards most of the time. The BBs pierce the box and hit the cushion and then later they go back in the bottle! Good, clean, indoor shooting.
Air Arms Pro-Sport .22 cal walnut stock (2019), BSA Supersport .177 cal (1999), British Diana Model 27 .177 (1950s), Umarex 850 M2 .22, Webley MkVI Service Revolver .177 pellet (2019), Sig Sauer XFive .177 pellet, Colt 1911 pellet.
I must confess that I never got into the G10 in my youth, Diana Mk2 was my gun(s) of choice, still got the one I used to carry in a holster to school (oops) a grammar school too. Anyway, I have three G10s now, a Milbro, a Diana and one pristine, looks like it has never been fired with the same markings as walnut stox's one in a Sport's Marketing box. Must have got wet sometime as the instruction 'manual' was all stuck together and unreadable.
Can anyone send me a manual or, more likely, email me a copy?
Cannot ever remember firing one, in my general collecting of any springer I sort of collected them along the way, not even sure I know how to load one!!!!

Always ready to buy another Webley pistol and another and . . . .
To Retracted Yeti, I now have another, and lockdown will enable me to make one working! Then I'll start trying to repair the bits left over, I have a can of satin black aerosol, hope it sticks to aluminium!

Er, still looking for a copy of the user manual so I can find out how to use it. Can anyone send me a scan please?

A friend at school absolutely worshipped the G10. Pretty much all he spoke about for a couple of years.
The thing that would be a safety catch on a 1911 released the “slide” which cocks the action on both the rearward and forward stroke.
The button that would be a mag release on a 1911 is a cross-bolt trigger-blocking safety catch.
The barrel assembly pivots up to load. Either a single pellet directly in the breech, or fill the tube above the barrel with BBs, when it will reload each time you cycle the cocking “slide”. As long as you keep the muzzle pointing upwards.
Does that help?
Lodmoor, I came across sports marketing leaflet with dismantling, rebuilding, using and warranty service info, by searching Internet for trigger Spring position. If you pm me your email I'll try and send it, if not I'll send you the address I found it under. David
Damn, that's the one above!
