Yes, introduced in 2001. I have just sold my second one, I like them because you can add barrels very easily. Easy to machine the shape needed for the receiver, and two little allen screws to clamp in position.

I've had a Firebird and two Spitfires.

Great idea, but not the best of designs seal wise.

i had the spitfire also , loved its compact design ..A real carbine ..

I put a full length .25 barrel on my last Spitfire, was shooting at 18ft/lbs, had to turn it down rapidly!

Something new I’ve just learned there is the Superstar predated the Airsporter RB2. I always assumed (as I thought most people did?) that it was the other way around.

Cheers

I thought the Airsporter RB2 was a lovely looking rifle
