    If only I lived closer, buying from auction.

    The saleroom are on form
    Here's a rescue Airsporter. I particularly like the improvised comb raiser.

    Bearing in mind that you would add a third in fees. What would you value it at.

    Then there's this. I like her but people might take it the wrong way.

    Can anybody identify the air rifle?

    And the more seriously this, a genuine Supersport carbine with eight watching already.

    Not a very good picture is it ? Wrapped in cling film ?

    Second hand I'd buy off a known member off a forum over auction any day, you have very little idea what you are actually going to be getting, like all those fire damaged Weihrauchs that have been put through auctions.

    If you can organise with the auction house, I am happy to collect and post.

    Only just down the road from me.

    Not the mannequin, I'm already collecting that, for a friend obviously.

    I've bought a few from the saleroom and missed out on far more because I will not bid high when factoring in fees and possible faults.

    Don't worry, I'll look after her for you. Probably need to run her through the dishwasher after handover though.

    I looked at the end of the barrel there is a sight hole there and here's the rub, assumed nobody has cut it then drilled a new hole.
