    Yep, paid up member of the Jackal club...



    This is my AR7 only took me about 20 years to find one with the original sight and mount.

    Yes, I have one or two and am a huge fan of the Jackal concept.

    I aspired to own a Firepower when I started out on my airgunning journey but it was way out of my reach at the time as I was never going to be able to afford one. Funnily enough when I did add an autoload to my collection, it was not my favourite as the mech did not seem any quicker than single loading through the tap but a lot more finnicky. I love the AR7 and the original 1979-82 Hi-Power is probably my favourite.

    Currently looking for Baikal Makarov pistols with the following prefixes to the serial number: 98, T01, T09, T21, T22
    Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.

    That's a model I never managed to find back in my collecting days.

    That is a lovely clean complete example. Nice one Harvey 👍

    Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

    I had an AR7 for years. My dad bought it for me when I was about 14 because he'd heard wonderous stories about the Single Point sight. Its serial number was 03043, anyone on here got it?
    After my initial burst of enthusiasm, it languished unused for ages (20+ years) before I finally sold it a couple of years ago.
    I found that it would only group with Eley Wasp pellets. Even with RWS and H&N, the accuracy was shocking, but the Eleys would form nice tight clusters.
    The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.
