    Gun control means using both hands.

    Mk.1 .22 HW90 Theoben.
    Sold it to buy a Mazda RX7 Elford Turbo 'Type B'... meaning it was homologated as a road legal Group B car.
    Last Efie (not B homologated) I saw sold went for £40k as a none runner!

    Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all...
    Yeah Right!

    Mine would be my styer lg100, was so accurate and the trigger was so smooth. Took it to Ben Taylor when he was at BTAS and he fitted a silencer to it. I only sold it because I wanted a multi shot rifle for a quick follow up shot.

    FWB124 .177 HW80 Mk1 .22 Both of these were about £80 new.
    Theoben SType .177 Leupy barrel.
    Theoben Mk1 .22
    Lincon Jefferies .177 which was as new condition not a chiselled screw anywhere.
    You could fire it with the tap up and it only let the air go by shutting the tap a near perfect seal plus it was very accurate and powerful enough to shoot rabbits.
    Sharp Victory .22
    Sheridan Silver streak with Williams peep sight.
    The best .20 gun I have had...Shot H&N Pointed really well.
    Not paying nostalgia prices to replace them though lol .

    Unhappy

    Venom Webley Tomahawk, .22, superb shooter, beautiful walnut stock and darkest blueing with shrouded barrel. Best springer i ever had.

    Believe it or not my Artimis M10, .25, which I returned to the shop as it struggled to hit a sheet of A4 at 25yds

    Apart from being inaccurate, everything else about it was perfect, weight, balance, frugal with air, almost silent, lovely trigger, smooth action, consistent over the chrono.
    I really wish I'd kept it & worked to sort the accuracy.

    Rifle - early HW77 with 4x40 scope. Heavy, but the most accurate springer I've owned.
    Pistol. Toss up between a '50's Webley Mk 1 & a '60's Original Model 6.

    Nah, just any of the Theoben Fenman Profiles I had.

    In fact, all the Theoben Fenmans I've had! I have none now. I am a silly boy!

    This is NOT a wanted ad! But I do want one
    Fenman for me as well. A nice older one in .22 , with the long silencer, and lovely Hyedua stock. I want her back.
    Here she is
