Right lads as we dont have a classic air rifle section   we will have to make our own   if one of the mods can pin this we will have one hear for all to post on   RIFLES

FWB Sport 127 (.22) 1978       FWB Sport 124 (.177) 1979         A couple of the " finest springers ever made" in my humble opinion.

Not sure if this will count as 'Classic' air rifle ? It's a Vmach HW97 that came on an ABS thumbhole stock, I had the blue laminate spare so I rubbed it down and re lacquered it, It's .177" cal, I've fitted brass cupped forend washers and stainless steel Allen bolts since I took these pics, Also had the brass trigger guard spare so I fitted that too ?

Some more lovely items there John.

I was really hoping to meet you and hopefully have a chat at Nuneaton last weekend, but unfortunately the chance never arose.

Jamie.

Sorry Jamie, I didn't make it, I had something like a headcold, Had three of the buggers in the last six months, Looks like i've developed an allergy though as Beconase stopped it getting any worse!!

I'm hoping to get to the June Boinger bash!! May see you then hopefully ?

This section got me thinking! Wouldn't it be useful to have a classic rifles wanted section?

I've been after a really clean example of a theoben taunus for a while now, now and again one comes up but I'm usually too late seeing them ?

Anyone else think this would be a useful thread?

Honestly, I'm not sure they'd go for it mate - I think it'd be seen as busying the forum with another section when a Wanted section already exists.

 

If it's an air rifle that you're after, you'd probably do better to post it in one of the Airgun sections.

Well, here's my contribution - being a pcp, I guess it's probably more of a modern classic.

 

Rough estimates put this .22 Falcon FN12 at around 22 yrs old.

 

Being a bit simple myself, I do appreciate the simpler things in life - this is definitely that and, bloody accurate to, even in my hands :yes:

Thought I`d get this posted up.

           Some of the lads are aware and some are not but I picked up this beauty a few weeks back, - the mighty MK1 HW 80, .22 cal, 1983 model.

           Very lucky find as she's untouched, spotless and laser accurate running at 626.64 ft/sec, 11.7 ft/lbs with the Falcon Accuracy Plus.

Hi all

Not sure if i've posted this one before, It's a mk1 HW80 but has an HW85 barrel fitted!, It has had work by someone as the trigger blade is straight!! The sock is supposedly from a Venom Vantage HW80 but it's a lefty! (I'm right handed but it's still comfy right handed!)

Someone had crammed a massive Oxspring inside and when I fired it, It felt like I was getting an electric shock in my hands, It was actually the vibration, It shook a small piece of the stock clean off from just forward of the barrel pivot bolt!- Managed to glue it back in to place, I chopped a couple of inches of preload from the mainspring then warmed the end and hit it down on to the anvil, When it cooled I ground it flat and dressed it on the linisher, It's like a different gun now, Superbly smooth!!, No 'shock' whatsoever!!
