    WoW!

    Having just read all the previous posts, I have saved a lot of time one finger typing. I waited until I had some uninterrupted time before I clicked on the link.
    From start to finish I was glued.
    Worthy of TV coverage for sure and you do our hobby proud Matt.
    Thank you

    To me it’s about closing the circle as a collector.

    Research & history, pride of ownership, servicing them (taking them apart and to see how they work and get them working at their best) and then seeing how accurately they deliver a pellet down range, as after all, that’s what they were designed for.
    That’s the full circle for me.

    Take out any of those four things and I wouldn’t enjoy it so much.

    Even if a group is the size of a dinner plate, I think shooting them is still an important part of the process. I appreciate not everyone is into shooting them though.

    Cheers,
    Matt

    Superb video,finally had the time to sit down and watch it and totally agree with the above,I find it very satisfying to rebuild a pistol and get it shooting as it should,I love how easily the webleys are to sort compared to say a bsa scorpion
    I have mint ones I rarely shoot as then they wouldn't be mint after a while I guess and not so mint ones of the same models that I shoot alot
