What was your FIRST Airgun?

[look no hands]

Not exactly sure what rifle I cut my teeth on as it was my Grandads and I think it was a small junior Diana of some sort, but my very own that I bought myself was on old Airsporter mk5 or 6.

Diana G2 pop-out pistol followed closely by a Relum Tornado. Don’t have them any longer but I’ve replaced them in recent years for nostalgic reasons.

Was given an old airsporter in 74 only 9 at the time could hardly hold it to my shoulder so my dad went and bought me a brand new ASI Sniper put thousands of marksman pellets through it I remember buying an Airgun aid tuning kit for it from Eddie Barber advertised in Airgun World.

The first air rifle I had the opportunity to use in summer holidays was a Spanish Norica model 61-C in 0.177" caliber back in early 80's - it belonged to a first cousin and he let me use it. It was love at first sight to be honest and I still hove great memories of it. This put me into the game for good.

The first rifle I managed to buy with my savings was an Industry Brand model 62 (Shanghai China) in 0.177" cal. back in 1982 - identical to the B2 air rifle from SMK. No scope rail - therefore all its use was with the military style iron sights. It had sling swivels on the right side of the stock and one day I added a canvas sling. The "diet" was mostly Gamo Match pellets, Milbro Caledonians (in paper boxes) and Bulldogs (the old ones in metal boxes from Lanes I think). A good tool for a beginer and for experimentation. It was donated to a friend some years ago to be used for spare parts.

That would have been very cool back then. From Sussex Armoury?

Thank Geezer, I’m not sure to be honest, but I do remember that at the same time my father had a Sharp Innova.

Gat gun and a BSA Cadet Major.

Slavia 630 ( at least I think it was a 630). Shot it for about 3 years and many, many thousands of pellets.

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!
