    Hi there John, just keep an eye on here, it's usually announced a few weeks in advance.
    On another subject. I just looked at your photo link, the first pic is a couple of lathes the smaller one looks like a Super Adept, is the other one a Wizard? they were made by a firm up here in the N.E.

    Hi Mel

    I just bought the Super Adept, The other is a Flexispeed 7, It was made around a mile from where I live!, It's a bit larger than the Adept

    I've recently sold two and I'm considering selling two or three others !
    As a result of this, I've got a small collection of scopes accumulating as well !

    Hi John, I had a Flexispeed a few years since, it was more modern than that and a fair bit larger. The Wizard that I was thinking about looked like yours and were made by C. Lane from Houghton le Spring. Yours looks as though it has a broken pulley, I have one that may replace it. I'll keep it in mind for next time we meet.

    My collection just goes upward, sadly (though much more slowly the last few years).
    I wish I could bring myself to sell a few, but whenever I've sold an airgun I tend to bitterly regret it afterwards.
    Good deals with these members

    Trimming down currently I readiness for a big buy later in the year !! The trouble is is getting to shoot them and be good at shooting them, I think it was late John Darling who said beware of the man with one gun.
    I have My - 77, 80, TX200, Air Ranger which in comparison I'm sure to some of you guys is miniscule but would be tempted to add a 35 and 97 again to my collection.

    Another of the collection gone !
    Parted with my Airking today.
    Superb acurate air rifle but as a Southpaw, I just couldn't get on with the right sided side lever and ATB.
    More Downsizing !
