Joe Wilkins Predator

[borg-drone1]

Hi,

I built my Predator from raw parts supplied by Joe Wilkins who has now passed away.
I re-finnished the action and made a special stock on paper which was made for me at Custom Stock at sheffield.
Steve and me fitted a regulator and we went to western park to demo it, people were blown away it was the best rapid fire gun on the scene.
I then went on to make again from parts supplied by joe the RED predator which was a slimmer version i added special bearing plastic's in the slide to make it run sweet.
Steve and me went to lots of events with the red Predator i would turn up on the speed shooting line and makes lots of rapid fire noise knocking down all the targets and people were blown away with my gun...
I showed it nick NICK JENKINSON and he fell for this Rifle big time.
Nick eventually became its owner and as far as i know still has it.

I never bothered Joe for any more parts i think he was a bit miffed that i sold the Red Predater as it was such a good example.

Joe Wilkins the master Airgun Smith went on to make several more over the years mainly in silver raw alloy finnish a few were black but not many.
They are a great gun joe's design is very unique and very ahead of its time.
Sadly he passed away but his Rifles live on through his son Steve who has his own designs.

I no longer work for Steve at Ripley Rifles but see and speak to Steve from month to month.

I did the finnishing /reg setup and light turning on the early rifles up till the end of the AR4's under Steves Watchfull eye (fantastic Boss to work for).

I still have the first Blue special edition Ar4 which i may be selling has a S/N of
001 and my name engraved as its builder under the anodise.

NICK JENKINSON IF YOUR READING THIS DROP ME A LINE AS I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE RED RIFLE IS STILL OK.

Russ.
