that is one nice rifle

master of mischief
I am content with an early tilt barrel JW 50 with thumbhole and sporter stocks, 0.177" & 0.22" barrels, a lovely rifle to look at and shoot. set at 11.7 fpe in 0.177" (so dare not use a 0.22" without detuning). Precision engineering at its best!

I've got the 0.22 barrel for mine as well but John gave me instructions on how to swap barrels along with a small grub screw type thing that apparently will allow the power to be reduced when the 0.22 barrel is attached (not tried this yet though)
wots the cost of them guys.
very nice looking rifle
I don`t think power adjustment was featured on the early tilt barrel models such as 50-0028 for example.

I owned a JW60FB, Serial # 0001
Sold it back to John in a time of need and abject stupidity .
It was the most accurate air rifle that I've ever shot.
I wonder where it is now, being well treated I hope.

Brocock Atomic .177
had one very good so well made 177 & 22 shot better than anything ive ever shotyou have got one of the last 12 ever to be made
keep it you wont get another ,custom stocks made the last 12 stocks for john (they made all his stocks)
trying to get a Sportster stock for my mk1 and have spoken to Custom stocks and they so not have the settings for the early ones. /they can do a MK 2 stock and its not too expensive but the cylinder is slightly bigger on the MK 2 so there will b a slight gap around it when on a MK 1, but i think its worth a go as i am unlightly to find a MK1 sport stock out there . Unless you know diffrent ( note i did get a GC2 stock out off a members loft )

£1000 plus they are very difficult to find used you are just very lucky if you find one.
I found my used one through word off mouth and had to buy unseen and hope for the best.
