    The side levers are not very refined by todays standards but do have a charm about tem.

    Camargue
    Mistral

    Mechanism looks a bit Webleyish. Will sell at Kempton I feel.

    I did a deal with a guy last year for both the Khamsins & the Camargue. Why do you ask?

    I had a Hi-Power . It had a full length Gunpower (Gunsport ?) silencer. L1A1 sling . a laser sight under the barrel but inside the stock and hole drilled for the beam to come out and a Nikko Sterling 3-9x50 scope .


    I fitted a Theoben Gasram into it also and it shot great .

    I swapped it for a Radio scanner .Stupid stupid stupid

    That sounds awesome,shame you swapped it. To be honest the air arms side levers are really under rated guns in my opinion . I've got a few of them in my collection and they're one of my favourite guns to shoot. .really accurate too. The Sussex armoury versions aren't quite as nice but with a little bit of home tuning they can all shoot really well.

    All in .22. I'd love to drop on a couple of .177 side levers but they are a rare find.

    Wanted to try it for grouping with scope fitted, but I think a normal scope would not suit. Think an Elcan Specter DR looks better on it?

    Make and Mend afternoon, cleanest 7.62 in the squad stuffed in back of cupboard. Everything ironed to the size of the Globe and Laurel.
