    Hi,

    I lived in Holy Loch from 1969 -1975. That's why I love British air pistols. As a kid I had a Milbro airgun. I noticed you are in Glasgow. My mom and I used to Christmas shop there. Good memories - lovely countryside...

    Hi, I only know Walden from Theroux .. I’m not a native and Glasgow is my 9th or 10th British city, although I do have roots here. I have relatives in Portland Oregon and New York and my mom was born in Chicago.

    Milbro was an interesting company, some English gunmakers were encouraged to relocate to Scotland and make Diana guns from the machinery erm ‘relocated’ from Germany after the defeat of the Nazis. That’s why in the U.K. there were ‘Milbro’ Dianas and ‘Originsl’ Dianas.

    The company still exists in name but it’s last rifle was the G80, sadly not quite good enough to compete in the fierce springer market of the early 80s..

    Must go and see what’s on the site of the old Milbro factory …
