I hate Frankenguns! To me, knowingly having eg. a BSA prewar with one stock/trigger block and another cylinder in my collection would be unthinkable. The odd screw, maybe, even perhaps grips on a pistol if the originals were terrible on an otherwise excellent gun. But something that changes an airgun's identity? Never!

Surely just keeping an old airgun alive is better than scrapping it.Not everyone has the money to buy top quality guns but would just like something really old.I have some top quality guns as well some old toot but i will never get rid of them.
