    I had a Pioneer! Aah, the old days

    Still remember the ad in the airgun mags for it. £19.99 it was.

    It's the B2's older brother, but probably more or less exactly the same. IIRC the older ones didn't have scope rails.

    £19.99! What year would this have been?

    This one has grooves for fitting a scope...

    I'll stick a photo up later
    Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

    Would have been around 1986.

    I think the dovetailed version came out (or at least was advertised) perhaps a couple of years later.

    So tell us, is the Readers Wives section really as good as they say?

    Red face Oops! Perhaps I should have looked more closely...

    Hmm,

    Having just dragged the poor gun out from the cabinet, I noticed "Made in West Germany" stamped on the action. So I'd better say 'Mea culpa' and crawl back under my stone.

    Photos of the gun (and original box) are here: <clickety>

    Hi Martin

    Yes I'll definitely be happy to swap my very rare only slightly coroded "Pioneer" for your truly dreadful "Air Wolf"

    Cheers

    Nah, at least I can say I have an Air Wolf!

    TBH, I have no idea what to do with it. A VGC one went for £50 apparently, so it has little financial value, but I wouldn't mind letting it go to someone who collected Webleys.

    hi peakecentral, if you do not want it i will take it off your hands, not for financial gain but to do it up to a saleable condition then sell it on the forum and donate what i get for it to the forum funds.
