Thats the plan, fixer upper that I can customise without ruffling feathers.

You'll Shoot your eye out Kid
I once bought a tatty Smk xs20 that had been shortened to 12” crudely and had bad bluing, I squared up the barrel with hand files and re crowned it and also fitted a tx200 short stroke with hw seal and it was so consistent and easy to shoot accurately and would honestly do the pellet on pellet at 30 yards I really should of kept it.
I’ve got a surprisingly accurate Relum Tornado
My first rifle, a Slavia 631.

My airguns: https://barx.org/airguns/
SMK XS38 177 tuned by ARC just as accurate as my TX200 and Diana 48
Original 45.
It was less expensive than the FWB Sport and HW35/80/77, just not as cheap as a Webley Vulcan MK1.
They shoot well.
It certainly was, I got it off the Chinese Airgun Forum, I ended up swapping a different rifle for a V-mach kitted HW95 and dropped that into the CS700 stock and selling the Xs20 on, although the 20 was superb to shoot, compared to the 95, you could definitely tell the difference in build quality, the 95 was just smoother and made all the right noises.
Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
Some interesting stories and rifles on this thread … the ones that pique my interest are the Slavias, the Remington Express, the BSA Meteor Mk 6 and the SMK XS38. None of these are really talked about much but sound like excellent low cost rifles for home tunes to really put them up there with the expensive machines.
And the Daisy Red Ryder. My Dad said that was the desirable airgun of the late 1940s & early 50s. My grandfather somehow got him the best air-rifle of the era, the Falke 80.
