What was your FIRST Airgun?

[Bear-O-Grayling]

Hello everybody. My absolute first airgun was a Daisy model 25 pump bb rifle with a Walnut stock. Approximately 1964. Then in 1968 the world changed for me. (And small moving objects) I got a old and worn Crosman 101. (borrowed pic) Within a mile radius of my house it looked like a Nuclear Test Field. I wish I still had them both. Sweet memories!

A 'Big Chief' I was nine years old, I think, a 1952 Christmas present. I picked one up about four years ago at the Melbourne Fair, just for nostalgias sake.

My father had a Buck Jones 52 shot Daisy that had a compass, I think, and a sundial on the stock, it was a pump action. I remember seeing him dispose of a rat with it that was under our chicken hut.

My first gun was a webley Hawk, my father bought it from a mate down the pub, this was 1978 ish and I would have been 12, when a kid could walk around with an airgun on his shoulder and no one even blinked, the gun wasn't very good, it twanged really bad and the 4x20 scope kept jumping off the rails, I had to get my dad to weld the mounts to the rail in the end, it helped a bit and I became quite proficient at killing Coke cans at 20yds, happy days, Daz

My first airgun was the ultra accurate Diana SP50

I could easily obtain 12" groups at 6yds with Jackal pellets

Wembley Tempest 1978. I had it for many years and then gave it to my son, I don’t know if he still has it. I only really got into airguns in 2015, I have a few now

Relum 822 junior break barrel. Not the best. The Meteor Super that I later traded it in for was leagues apart.

Diana G85 'Bobcat' - I loved it, shot it every single day and was heartbroken when I literally wore it out.
My uncle let me borrow his Relum Tornado from time to time and it was given to me many years later when he passed away. I had Shaun reblue it and Dave Pope smoothed it out a bit - I still have it here.

Diana G34. I used it for years and shot thousands of Marksman (Eley Wasp when it was my birthday or Christmas) through it before I upgraded to a Airsporter. I lent it to a friend and never saw it again.

Years later I saw a G34 stood in the corner in Jeans Militaria and bought it for the memories. I don't think I've put more than 10 shots through it. I bought it for the memories.
