........ A .177 BSA Mercury Challenger    It's not strictly 100% original, it has been tastefully restored - all of the metalwork has been reblued, the rear block has been enameled, seals ha

Lovely looking rifle Tom  - classics always are.                      I was shooting the Mercury rifle in .22 way back in the 70`s and took a hillside of vermin with them. Ayeeee to be

I did not buy it mark jonjon79 has.  That' a aweome pic mark - your airgun enthusiasm has spanned many decades! No wonder you love your classic springers so much.

Aye, I remember doing ok with my old Challenger but, I hadn't been spoilt by tuned springers and PCPs back then - I just hope I can do this one justice and put it to some good use :yes:

Not doing much shooting at the moment mate, things in life to cope with, and medication not helping.  But worse thing happen at see. 

So if one is still breathing then all is fine Jonjon. 

All the very best for you and yours mate

I'm looking forward to having a go with that Beeman mate. I've been reading up on them - the yanks love them. They rate them as a mini magnum Springer :yes:

 

I saw Si's video - it's impressive stuff and, I'll tell you something else mate - there'll be nothing wrong at all with your work on it :good:

 

Besides, I never want to see that horrible little 57 ever again :laugh: :thumbs:
