    Lovely rifles and extremely accurate with the right pellet - at least as accurate as the FWB124/7. Still have mine from new. I would hang on to it if I were you!

    I rate them. They shoot better than they look, and that is the issue: bit big, not very sexy, but they have a good trigger, are powerful, and shoot straight.
    Anyhow: Absolutely mint: £300. Almost mint £250. Just very nice then £200. Collectors mint grade wouldn't have sling attachments. A lot were sold.

    I'm looking for one, so please give me a heads up if going up for sale. I rate them enough to miss not having one in my armoury.

    Is there a difference between these & the Diana variant? what sort of power are they, is it 99/95 or 80 type power?, are they easy to work on & can you get parts? as there's a Diana on GT at a cheapish price, heard the guy was raided for trading without a licence(has a lot for sale) so may still be advertised but not for sale

    Thumbs up

    I have one that was Jubilee model in 4.5mm cal but the panels and badge were romoved

    I made walnut panels and glued them in to the recesses!, The stuck was a sickly factory yellow colour so I stripped it, Stained it and oiled it up!




    I also have one and a half more in 5.5mm cal..

    The full rifle I was given by a mate, He tried to up the power to centrefire ranges but failed when it wouldn't latch!! I removed a large nut and a washer or two and a half pound of copperslip, It was fine then!


    I love the trigger on these, It's a lovely two stage affair that's very predictable..
