    The only part of that rifle I've ever had in my collection was a stock, purchased with the remaining items from a gun shop that closed down in Totton many years ago, and it weighed a ton. I can't remember what happened to it, but I'm sure it went to a deserving home.

    I had one Relum when I was about 17. Horrible thing. Never again!

    In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

    To be really really pedantic, it’s not a “factory fitted scope”. That’s, as you know, a Hungarian FEG branded as a Relum with a Relum-branded scope made in Japan (as it says).

    I used to hold those things in contempt, but have warmed to them as I get older because (a) they actually aren’t that bad; (b) they hold lots of fond memories for many fine folk.

    You could have let me down slowly....

    With looks only a mother could love.

    I was getting excited when I saw the title, I thought it was something really nice. I bought a spear and jackson post knocker last week that's much prettier.

    Lets face it: British airguns of that era looked better but did not shoot any better. Only the Germans were making airguns that were good to shoot.

    Rather use the stocks as
    Gate posts. The morris marina of the airgun world. Even my scrappy refused to take mine.

    Looks rather busy in the tap loading area, but if it's only cosmetic....these things can fade into the background.
    Never handled one. I've had an airgun from a much more reputable manufacturer that I could not get rid of quickly enough because although very good looking, it was horrible to shoot and dismantle.
    This one looks like it could actually shoot consistently at the very least and dismantled with a couple of screwdrivers.

    I believe there were 2 models available the Tornado and another. I remember them in the 70's and can't say I would recommend one to anyone. The spring within a spring was novel and so was the kick it produced. Spares for them must have dried up years ago other than the spring and leather washer. Shooters bemoan Chinese guns but they are well ahead in terms of quality than Relum ever were. Best consigned to history.
