    Airgun Attendenee

    Steve

    I missed that airgun. Spend my army years in a General Patton's 2AD tank unit. Thanks for the Westley Richards it is a great vintage air pistol and good shooter, as you mentioned.

    Kindest Regards,

    Randy

    Anymore info on this interesting rifle. I couldn't find an identical one on Dannys excellent site. Its seems different to the ones on there. Was it manufactured locally from a Bsa design ?

    Someone was selling the rubber tank targets for one of these on t’bay recently.
    A niche item but I can’t find them now.

    Would be great if someone set one of these up in the garden and had a go.

    I bought some! I’ve got the BSA tank trainer in a drawer too. I’ll see if I can find time to post some pictures tomorrow

    Almost a surfeit of riches, eh, Steve?

    Danny’s archive is world class, isn’t it? I think I’d be content just be able to take photos of that quality.

    Different guns for different tank turrets, i think Puff ranges were still in use till the 1970. Not sure if they used these for Navy use for gunnery.
