They also did a two stroke underlever springer, I’d love one of those:

The biggest surprise acquisition for me this year has been a Mk1 FAS 604; I found that I could shoot better with it than the FWB P34 match pistol that has been with me for 8 years.
The P34 has now been sold and some of the funds are going on a custom Rink grip for the 604.
For now I will make do with the modifications I have done to suit my hand, as it will be around 3 months to get the new grip.

Very good price too.

Both my best purchase and that also surprised me too was a Mk2 BSA Superstar in .22. Metalwork is 99% good and only a couple of dings and a varnish scratch to the stock. The ad was only up for about an hour on the Agf and I was lucky enough to see it on Thursday teatime and was picking it up on Friday morning.

One of my bucket list guns ticked off and it's a real beauty........dom

My best purchase was a cased nickel plated Bedford Eureka with inset wood grips. It is the only Eureka I have seen with the wood inset grips and I feel fortunate to have acquired it from the Beeman collection. As you can see, it fits in quite nice with my other Bedford Eureka's. It always is nice to have the appropriate ammunition to go with the pieces too.

Fabulous collection Bruce. A slice of American air gun history worthy of any museum.
Cheers,

Great collection Bruce, and to have the slugs as well, what a bonus.

Seems the Beeman Collection has completed a few dreams!

I have just bought two Brittania air rifles in 177.One is original patina and the other has been reblued.Both have been totally serviced and are lovely.I will probably sell one on later as i dont need two in my collection.But a good buy.

I think my fave buy (In a long time!!) Was this .177" Webley Mk3 that I bought from a mate, The stock was conservatively worked on (Or possibly wholly made) by Don Robinsonson and the gun shoots wonderfully well!













I've only bought a few this year, I've actually sold more than i've bought for a change!!!


Happy new year everyone! John

Hello Pete,
Congratulations on finding the WR Concentric which I know you have been chasing for some time. Can I ask you what the Ser No of the pistol is please.

Happy New Year.
