Curse these bullpups!

I have an Original Diana 50 that someone has converted to sliding breech loading. It's got an excessive chamfer on the barrel throat, and its doing 2.5 fpe. If the sear/cocking lever lets go while you are loading it you will DEFINITELY loose your fingertips. Its dead exciting. Fancy that?

I thought you were getting an old Falcon ?

If could find the two shot doodad I've been fixating over I would. Imagne, a two-shot MPT in .22....

Ooh, I need a lie down

I know where you live

Mmmm........oops!

Get a secondhand BSA Ultra.

They made it short in the first place so you don't need to cow-kitten it.

Accurate and it has a nice trigger, and you could probably shoot it one-handed if you got attacked from behind by a giant rat out of the rat version of The Matrix, doing a sort of diving spinning move that would keep you alive just long enough to put a Hobby through its bonce. If you need more shots then just carry a small bottle with you, its just for critters not for HFT innit?

For hunting I prefer clinical.
For exciting hunting you need an untuned springer. Plenty of anticipation wondering whether you'll kill cleanly or mame or possibly a nice little CO2 rifle, plenty of excitement wondering what power it will make on the day

I remember you buying that....

I've GOT to have it apart and see how it was done. I have a feeling its just a big block of alloy with a 40mm long transfer port in it.

It's sort of a hymn to Lost Volume.

Nick-

I've a P10 in 22 which I'll probably not use again sadly. I've got the 10 shot mag for it plus a homemade single shot tray. It's got a good scope on it which I can't remember what it is (that's how long it's been since I shot it.) Think you've got my phone number, give me a call and we can talk about it. If not PM me

Now you are in a vulnerable position, have you considered an HW35 Export? Sometimes what we need is the exact opposite of what we want...

My Christmas card list is getting shorter.

Come on, it was once the finest sporting air-rifle on the market. Grown men would dribble over the adverts like the Page 3 Models they saw in The Sun, and curse their faithful but unglamorous BSA Meteors .

It's like a Supermarine Spitfire, except not an aeroplane and German instead of British. I know its confusing but you have to have faith in the Olde Writers of Airgun World like Arthur Shepherd and Geoffery Boxall, who crowned it the Best Air Rifle.

Ok, this weekend I will mostly be rocking the SMK P10 look.

I will let you know how it fares

Cool. I wonder if you skimmed it down that it might fit in one of those Leg of Mutton shotgun scabbards. The you could be like a Cornish Indiana Jones.

I'll be genuinely keen to see how you get on with it Nick.

Owned one for a couple of years, very accurate with jsb, built like a tank, very easy to strip and replace the cheap o rings. My only gripe is that it takes a good yank to cock first time which is why I single load it.
