Goals for 2023

[Gamocfx]

Morning Chaps,

I was musing over what rifles to purchase in the coming year and have come up with two that I cant stop obsessing over. First is a QB57 or 58, does anyone own one of these quirky little things and how old are they please? I am guessing 1980s? I will be adding one of those to the collection for sure in the new year.
Second one is a Diana 27.... I will have a go at finding the early 1/4 stock one and if funds allow I will find a later one. I did promise myself that I would never nother with the older stuff but the look of them is growing on me ...

What will you chaps be searching for? I need to know!

Three more Meteors to make a collection from Mk1 to 6

[Gamocfx]

Oh yes Dorn, Meteors are great underated rifles.

[Jerry Cornelius]

My goal is to end the year with substantially fewer airguns than I start it

Don’t laugh.

[Gamocfx]

What are the chances of that happening Jerry?

Well Jerry I can help you with that if you have a Mk2,3 or 6 Meteor to offload

[Gamocfx]

I have been looking for a cheap MK4 Meteor in .177.... I have plans to make a carbine with air stripper... should look good on the wall.

2023 Goals ?

A mint Webley MKIII Supertarget without" Supertarget " engraved on the cylinder.

[Gamocfx]

I cant remember the last time I saw a MK3 let alone a target version Sam... good luck with that, lets hope one turns up for you.

My goals are to:
-only buy really interesting guns, no more dust collectors into the "collection". (unless they are VERY cheap )
-try Maccaris HW35 Custom spring in the HW80
-try Maccaris UK soft spring in the HW50/99 and the Webley Vulcan
-build a well performing Gamo CF-30 carbine from the heap of leftover CF-parts
-find a 25mm comp tube for the HW 77k

Probably still looking to add to my prewar military trainers.

1. Holy grail woul be an impossible find: The Diana 58 first model

2. Haenel 33 and Mars 115 but at a reasonable cost. These can go for crazy money here in the US.

[Gamocfx]

Evert... the CF30 will be nice, I have been following your work with the CFX so I'm sure your next venture will be thorough!
45... I had to google those guns as I have never heard of them, good luck.

No purchasing goals for me for 2023.

I just need to shoot the guns I currently own more and make a start on some springer fettles.

[Jerry Cornelius]

What are the chances of that happening Jerry?

Very much depends on how long binners waiting list for a table at Kempton is

I think I know what I want to slim down to but the logistics of selling it on here have put me off so far.

Theres a sales thread here in collectibles with two meteors right now....
