A special Original 75

[RobinC]

Well, here we go, probably the last plea before I give up!! Its been over 5 years now with many people looking for it, we've posted on many sites, local newspapers, clubs, dealers, you name it we've done it, even offering £100 recovery or even "information leading to recovery", and this still stands, but still no luck.

She has very trick modern state of the art rifles for all the events she shoots, and she is still winning! But for nostalgia she would love the one she had her first success's with.

I can email pictures if any one wishes.

Best regards
Robin

Don't give up Robin - Pam's Model 75 is out there somewhere - probably with an owner that does not participate in forums (or maybe even target shooting at any club) and so is unaware that his/her rifle has so much interest.

....but ...with the search still ongoing there will be a time when it comes back out of the shade and into view and then hopefully it will be "discovered" and the owner may be happy to sell it back to you

Hello,

I stumbled across this post at the weekend while searching for general info on "Original 75" Air Rifles. I realise the post is old now but I have some information that may help, if you are still trying to find the customised riffle.

Thank you
Scott

Thanks Scott

more info on it for you on a post a page back, "The replica! Can you help?"....

Received your email, look forward to what you have found!

Have Fun
Robin

Well what a surprise!!!!!

After all this time, ten years searching, and now the original special Original 75 has surfaced, a deal has been struck, and I now await its return!!!!

Then the work will start again, it will require a full internal refurbishment as its been sat in a loft for very many years, so a specialist is already booked to do the action.

The stock, I don't know until I see it other than photo's, but I will do that, hopefully just a cosmetic clean up, and of course its had the stickers removed, but I built a replica when I thought it was lost for ever, so I'm hoping I can use the stickers I made for that, and replace them on the genuine stock, if not I'll need to make some more replica stickers.

The wife is very excited and looking forward to seeing her old rifle again, the one that she started her international shooting career with, aren't we daft, she's still shooting successfully at ahem... (best not say her age!), and with modern high tech small bore, and also 300 mt full bore rifles, does not do air any more, but she's exited about getting back a 46 year old air rifle that started it all!!

Have Fun
Robin
