It’s not ideal I know but they are always very helpful and recently some of my best stuff has come from them… I’m just happy Protek exist at all, so however they want to do it.
I’d never really considered the quality difference between the No.5 and all the cheap Gems but the No.5 seems like a much better quality airgun.

I could not agree more Matt,
Protek are a gunshop rather than some web based faceless entity. A quick phone call usually elicits further details and having dealt with them for some 25 years I have always found their descriptions honest. I still have the first rifle I bought from Protek a few weeks after the shop opened, which is a very nice Webley Mark 3 with PH16M aperture sight and factory fitted sling swivels. I still recall seeing a very early double pull Mark 3 during the same visit that was fitted with a birch stock and which I should have also bought!

Currently looking for Baikal Makarov pistols with the following prefixes to the serial number: 98, T01, T09, T21, T22
Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.
