    Unhappy bygone collection...

    hi

    love my vintage guns, here's a pic of my collection as it was before the wife started getting at me


    sorry for the piss-poor pic but i only have a 35mm print (that i photographed with digi )
    they are (from left to right)

    crosman mod 1
    beesa airsporter mk1 (miss this 'un )
    beesa airsporter mk 4 or 5
    webley mk3 (still own this 'un- it's like brand new
    original mod50
    hw 80, stripped back to clean metal and with a custom laminated stock made by me
    hw 35e-beautiful gun
    beesa mercury
    sterling hr 81- reeeaaally miss this one
    original mod 50 type01

    there are also some pistolas at the bottom of the rifles but they can't be seen, among them was a crossman 1300 auto cocking, it was very nice.

    regards, john.

    I would love a Mod 50 type 01.
    If you still have yours I have a HR81 or a MK1 Airsporter to swap.

    Same thoughts here.

    However every woman is different. From the very start of our relationship it was clear to her. How important my airguns/hobby are.

    Looked like a nice collection

    Regards
    Paddy.
