    That's the same as the one I have, I was told mine was an 'Asi Statical' though.

    never see them around here although i did get chatting to a bloke at a boot sale last week who said he had a lot of 1950's-1970's springers to get rid of,he also offered me an 1866 .44 winchester rifle!
    i gave him my number but i think i'll skip on the winchester.

    The Winchester could be in obsolete calibre (not modern 44 Magum or 44 Special) and so not requiring a licence. Check it out!

    my understanding of the antiquities clause of the firearms act is that if the calibre is still in use then the current cartridges could be adapted to fit in which case it's still fac.i had a french chassepot which was 11mm and fell under the antiquities clause as no ammunition was available or adaptable.

    No need for the sarcasm fella!, if you want it to be a Expomatic, so be it.....I couldn't give a flying figment of your imagination!

    Just trying to be helpful...my bad.

    ASI and Gamo are the same, no need for any opprobrium chaps!

    Or, ASI were the British importers of Gamo airguns for a while, back in the old days.
