OK sort of fun, sort of serious.

I have just finished a "system" that I always seem to fall into....

1)
I bought 5 Sharp Innovas, never having owned a pumper before, they were from v good to v bad in condition, most not working.

2)
Starting with the first/worse one acquired, strip it , see how it works, get it working.

3)
Fix all over a few weeks getting a crash internet/practical course as I go along. Naturally the last one is best with most learned on the journey.

This is where it gets busy..

4) Go back over the others to make them ALL as good....

This is where it is a bit silly, maybe I admit that

5) Find the worst one (there will be one) and for shear stupid sake? make it BETTER than the others.

6) Thats it, most end up stored or swapped... ( I do aim to sell some...but...seems harder than I thought...)

Now I do / have done this a lot, always something new, always when done it is "over". Lastest phases have been BSA, webley pistols, Jackals, Drulovs, Co2, Innovas....

Now I know for a lot it is the "hunt" same for me. Also the fix, but the constant moving on totaly has me a bit frustrated as there seems no end..

So Am I odd ? or "normal" in the airgun world ?

I have a thick skin

EDIT I mean mechs, wood and metal all redone by me .....
