    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.

    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.

    From what I remember the only problem with them was the little retaining clip that went on the end of the rod outside the tube would come off.Maybe Me and My mates were a bit heavy handed operating the slide (watching too much Bodie and Doyle!!lol)

    G10 repeater

    Mine needs a new compression cylinder, but as a pressure bearing part I can't justify RFD fees! Any one got one lying in a spares box? David

    Try a “wanted” on the forum. I bet someone somewhere on here has one lying around

    I had one back in the early 70's, Have to say that I didn't like it back then, I bought another one ten years ago thinking that they couldn't be as bad as I thought they were, I was wrong!

    I think it's still in the back of the wardrobe!!

    Honestly, I'd rather shoot a Gat gun than a G10

    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.

    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!!!!

    Thanks!

    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!
