    I think you said before Danny, that the hobby is in a bit of a heyday.
    Seems I got interested at a good time then, and I think I’ve only come across one airgun that wasn’t on your Gallery, but it is now

    Such a valuable resource.

    Cheers,
    Matt

    Thumbs up

    A really extensive resource, well laid out and beautifully presented... A body of work to be proud of that's for sure.

    For many years I used to rebuild and drive classic cars, all the time thinking they would be banned imminently. Every year I would dread it when the MOT came around and feared my 'sympathetic' MOT tester would retire or move to another part of the country.

    I heard recently that cars over 40 years old are exempt from MOTs, which I never could have imagined. Just shows that there's different rules for collectables and 'antiques', despite the hostiity to guns fostered by the antis.

    I concur. Thanks to you Danny for what you have created and provided.
    Not forgetting those who have contributed images, knowledge and experience to that resource; thank you all too.

    A resurgence of interest in bell target and limited shooting during lockdown has certainly piqued my interest and I find the information and detail on this site to be invaluable.
    Thank you for it`s encyclopedic content and I now find I may have to spend my hard earned....
