    Awesome thanks, I don’t really have a thing for older rifles but that caught my eye possibly because it’s shiny!

    It appears that this particular auctioneer has the infuriating habit of only showing a small portion of the gun in the one and only photo that they offer, so it is impossible to see the overall condition of the gun. Also a lot of the guns are wrongly described, so that there are powder burners described as air rifles, and Cadets described as Airsporters. Not to mention underlevers labelled as break barrels. How on earth do they hope to attract online bidders, when they dont offer proper complete photos of the guns on offer.

    And the Harper is listed as requiring an SGC. 🙄

    What Lakey said. Plus, the bugelspanner looks refinished - at least the stock looks too shiny anyway.

    Harper now requires a FAC boo!

    The air rifle listed as needing a shogun cert is quite funny!
