    Been chasing my first .22 Fenman, a smashing air rifle with a great Hyedua stock, Serial No. 12400. Bought in 2000 from Stephen J Fawcett, Lancaster.
    So far no joy.

    ... and I am biding my time to buy back my walnut stocked SFS tuned genuine Brum-built Webley & Scott Longbow, too. Trouble is, I do know where it is, and who has it, but the current seller just won't sell back to me, will you ???

    Welcome to the "missing my old Sharp" group! It's not a problem, we just have to take it day at a time...
    The trouble is I know where two of my old Innovas are and worst thing is they aren't being used!
    BSA Super10 addict, other BSA's inc GoldstarSE, Original (Diana) Mod75's, Diana Mod5, HW80's, SAM 11K... All sorted!

    not sold and bought back. when i got burgled my brockock safari was nicked. a few days later one was advertised for sale so i went and bought it.
    got it home and checked the serial number, it was mine.
    the bloke that nicked never got done for it, no matter how many times i told the police its a firearms offence. he got done for having a garage full of stolen motorbikes. karma.
    the only thing i can find wrong is the nut on the steering wheel.

    Many years ago when we were allowed to shoot and own Brocock pistols without any problems I sold a lovely pistol to a chap up north, Cannot remember his name. A fair amount of time later I quite fancied the same model again. Seeing one advertised I promptly purchased it, only to find out it was the same gun I had sold on previously. The original purchaser had sold it on to somebody else and then I had bought it back. Strange world !!!!

    I once bought a FX Cyclone off a chap, he was getting a new Daystate mk4, he rang me a couple of weeks later asking "would i sell the Cyclone back to him", his need was greater than mine, he couldn't get on with the Daystate. I sold it back to him, it still had the same air in it.

    Member on here gingernut and myself have a habit of buying and selling the same guns back and forth between us, especially Schimels, an HW 50, and various others. Tracked down my favourite SIG P210-5 to a guy in Johannesburg, going to look him up next time I go back.
