    Ha ha. Hi John. Yep you make a set of very valid points my friend, so all I gotta do is choose my corners carefully.

Now I acknowledge that this is most likely just an information gathering glitch before my airgun thirst again needs metaphorical quenching, but seriously, anyone else out there at an 'Airgun Collection Complete' level? For it is very unsettling !!!

    Are you sure about that ?
    I still have very nice boxed pre-war straight grip and slant grip Seniors, should you not already have them, plus boxed Tin Grip Junior, along with a few boxed Premiers, which I am sure you already have.

    Lol. Got a nice straight grip already, not a fan of Juniors (or Typhoons or Hurricanes come to that) but, err, could maybe be up for a minty boxed Mk.II .177 Premier in the not too distant future now you come to mention it?

    Oh bugger !!! ... Well that didn't last very long, did it ???

    I've got a couple of boxed Mk.2 Premiers, but I'm not sure of their condition so I'll have to dig them out
