    Rutten Winstar Mach 1 - ANY INFO ?

    ...Any info on this airgun - seems to be twin spring , compressing on both forward and return of the underlever . The trigger is actually in the underlever ! Snaps back into place when you return the underlever - and locks in place with a seperate catch - at first I thought mmm- now I really like it - and it works . Wonderful engineered pellet trap . ....It came with a schematic but I don't have a scanner or I'd put it up here for everyone . I know is its Belgian and possibly made by Browning (or division off ) . Additional info anyone ?

    Also known as the browning vectis 220 I think? I've found a manual for it - if you're interested PM me and I'll email it to you..

    These Rutten guns were well known for quality... I'm looking for a Rutten Winstar HS550 which is a pistol that they made.

    I will do, he's in the final stages of preparing it for publishing now, it will have lots of photos (including a couple of mine!) and has been a few years in the making (I believe). I can't really go into it much further without discussing it with him first, but hopefully I will be able to give more information soon.
