Rapiditus
After contracting 'rapiditus' I drove form Essex to Glasgow for a mk2, then to Exeter for another and then to Liverpool, but the best was delivered over our fence in an old coal bucket and hessian sack !!!! The old retired fella across the farm who watched me walking about for months and spoke to me once when I bumped into him in the lane, he said he had watched me and could I take advice from the 'old game keeper', Yes of course I said, well then 'you need to walk at little AND look a lot son ! We then had a chat about stuff and he told me so much about this farmland, when and were etc and he asked what gun I used and I explained its 'only' an air rifle, to which he said Oh only an air rifle, but the most fun you can have when your in the right place and that he might have an old broken airgun still in the shed. Well I didn't see him for a few months and then as I was in my garden he walked down lane carrying something, the bucket and sack. This is it and if I could make it work to keep if its any good, in the bucket was lots of other metal parts as it was his scrap bucket, and it wasn't until he pulled the sack open and handed me a mk1 rapid stock and a rusty barrel with other bits still in sack I took it and arranged to supply him a few rabbits, and to sort then gun and see what we have, well it was a mk2 with a spare mk1 stock as he had painted the mk2 green ! Well, sorry to ramble but that rifle went to KevG for a rebuild, I sanded stock down, and Ive still got it now, its my go to , do it all .177. As the others seem just to precious to knock about hunting, so my best bargain was over the fence, and it costs me a few rabbits every month, I also get invaluable information and a cuppa on every delivery, happy days indeed.
