I’m not a collector of classic air guns. However after a brush with the C word (all good now) I’m making sure I do a few things I’ve been deferring for some decades so I don’t miss out. One such thing is getting the personally unobtainable and for me most desirable air rifle of my youth and learning to shoot better.

The air rifle and calibre I have in mind is reasonably well known and they crop up every 6 weeks or so but are gone before I can get to the vendor or are at the other end of the country (I’m in Northumberland which doesn’t have lots of classic Airguns) and most often both.

Gun star and Gun trader are proving ineffective. Are there any other ways you guys find the rifles you are looking for?

Thanks
