unusual airgun

[airRookie]

Hello guys.

I came across this lot in historic sales of the local auction.

What the heck is the bottom airgun?

Looks very unusual.

Thanks

A relum.

Buy one, every collecter has to have one at least once.

It looks horribly rusty. A Relum I suspect.

Had quite a few over the years. Sold my last one for 60 quid at Kempton Park show to an old chap in a wheelchair.

Looks like an early Relum Tornado to me.

The stable door is shut and the horse has already bolted.

But it should not be paid for. If you collect airguns long enough, someone will come along and give you "this really great old airgun that looks like a real rifle" and you'll quickly understand that you were lucky to never spend any money on them

A slightly different fore-end but otherwise very like a Relum Tornado that I had in the mid 70s. I think that one would need to really dislike someone to suggest that they buy one.

i completly agree , having refurbished one for a mate (it was his dads so sentimental value to him ) After replacing the mainspring with a single spring, re lubing & cold bluing it I had a few shots, noticed the foresight canting off to one side & realised the barrel was loose & rotating! fixed it with some threadlock but what a stilff to cock horrible experience shooting it was . The telly break barrel my brother had in the late 70's early 80's was however quite powerfull & accurate but still had a trigger like a rusty bog door latch to use. He pulled off some amazing shots with it though with the crude open sights too!

Top one looks to be telly 200 (I think) and bottom tornado, blast from the past
