Hi all,

I've finally managed to finish my Airsporter S carbine, I've been after a special Airsporter for years and although I still want a Stutzen for my collection I wanted something a little different, I saw an advert on Gun trader for a carbine and decided to go and view it, when I was handed the rifle, it was in a sorry state as the bluing was rust pitted and the lacquer on the stock was worn which hid the superb grain pattern that lurked underneath, I didn't realise the stock was walnut when I saw it on the advert and then when I saw it had a 17mm barrel, it then struck me I had an S in my hands and a carbine S at that, I couldn't get out of the guys house quick enough before he knew he had something a bit more than just a carbine.

Anyway a few months later and the rifle is now finished, the stock has been stripped and oiled and the metalwork has been reblacked by Paul Chell to an excellent standard, the internals have had a a little fettle, the piston is highly polished with the O ring head and buffer washer still being used (although new parts) the spring is a Titan with a Tinbum Delrin guide and a Delrin top hat from elsewhere, the gun is doing 11.2 with .22 Defiant Vintage pellets, to say I'm chuffed is an understatement.













As you can see the stock has a rather nice grained walnut stock.

Cheers

Pete
