    So, I.J., what did you sell to make way for the Fwb Sport you just bought off me?
    The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.

    A very tidy Airsporter S in .177 I had a duplicate of. The one I’m keeping is boxed.

    Gareth can I respectfully suggest you spend some time browsing in my vintage airguns gallery? By the end of it you should have a whole new wishlist. (That's what happens to me anyway - I hardly dare go in there. )

    I can explain the Webley Tomahawk with the tatty beech stock which I bought on Friday. Well, I felt sorry for it.

    I often rescue guns that need a bit of tlc.
    Get them sorted and sell them at a loss.

    It's not collecting !

    Wish I was in your shoes, all the rifles I'm after seem to be a bit elusive or when I've had the chance to buy them in the past, I've not had the money.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    Collecting

    I'd set myself a target of rounding of collecting by acquiring a new model Sport from the fatherland and a Diana 340Ntec anniversary again from SWS over in Germany.
    However, between procrastination, lack of funds and exchange rate going wrong way I've as good as parked up the plans to buy these two and consequently my collecting days are pretty much on ice.
    Not much else catching my eye at present so I've as good as got no wish list. It won't stop me putting a few quid aside on the offchance one of the above guns become available by some miracle one day in the future though.
