Don't see why air rifles should take all the credit. Can anyone name the only take-down spring air pistol?

Is it the Lincoln, John, which had a hand-screw bolt to disengage the barrel/cocking link?

In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

Dead right Danny. Anyone who has ever tried to stow a Lincoln in their coat pocket will appreciate why Lincoln Jeffries chose to add this feature to his baby.

Fascinating piece, along the lines of the classic breakdown big game rifles of yesteryear

The only take-down pistol I ever had was a Charter Arms AR7 Explorer in Africa. Was a handy plinker.

I had three which would qualify as 'take downs' in my teens:
...An AR7 (like yours) but slightly earlier 70's variant, which stowed action and barrel into a hideous multi-coloured plastic stock.
...A winchester 1898 .22LR pump, which had a thumb screw on the left of the action that allowed you to detach the stock.
...and Dad had a broom handle Mauser in 9mm with a clip on stock which you could keep the whole pistol in like a wooden holster.

That is beautiful.
Can I ask... what is the rifle you have as your 'ident pic'?

That's an old pre 1900 Winchester 1892, restocked and rebarrelled in .357 Magnum by David Miller years ago, looks like it came out of the factory last week yet most of it is 120 years old
David Miller is a bit of a hero of mine.

I'll bring it to Kempton

I would very much like to see it. Very, very nice rebuild. Look forward to hopefully seeing you there. Best, Richard
You can't say muntjack without saying mmmmm
I had one of those, the "Red 9" variant, like your dad's. Handing that in for destruction in 1997 damn near broke my heart
The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.

Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

I sympathise. The C96 was quirky to load, remarkably effective at quite ridiculous ranges for a 9mm (100+ m), and just a real oddity. Dad died in '96 and dissolved his gun collection in '92 due to ill health. Sad to think of all those lovely examples crushed.I had one of those, the "Red 9" variant, like your dad's.
