Most of mine fell victim to the discovery of a .22 BSA air rifle... which is why it has cost me a fortune to replace them years later!

That's exactly what happened to mine Alex - those that survived the BSA got it from a Weihrauch! I never felt like replacing mine though.

Most of mine are probably still buried in the garden, if anyone lives in Manor Road, Brinsworth give me a call... there could be a small fortune somewhere near you! :eek:

I had one of those with a fancy 'scope... didn't arf get trouble with that thing! :stalks:

It seems we all had similar upbringings :lol: I'd build loads of 1:42 scale Airfix and Matchbox model kits of aircraft during the school hols, paint 'em then hang 'em up with cotton from trees on some farmland near to where I lived, then I'd blast them into itty, bitty pieces with my BSA Airsporter fitted with a Tasco scope. Come bonfire night I'd fill 'em with bangers for a more spectacular ending... :lol:

Hell yeah! :thumbsup:

+1 with knobs on! I was a right bugger with my air rifles (still have one), shooting birds in the back garden, and firing at (live) shotgun cartridges, head-on, placed about 30m away (I also owned a couple of shotguns), aiming at the little round spot in the centre, so they'd go off and scare the shite out of the neighbours! :eek: :D

I got up to all sorts with them. I was also a pretty good shot and used to enter competitions - won a few cups, too! Used to 'soup-up' my guns with special springs to increase their power (making them illegal in the process) and use special steel-tipped pellets, for extra penetration...

What about seriously bad-ass slings, like the 'Black Widow' - was anyone into that stuff? I use to fire ball-bearings to scare cats, with those! :eyebrows:

Marco.

I used to have a few as a kid.The grew up joined the Army and played with the big boys stuff.When back in civvy street got my FAC and loads more fun from black powder revolvers to full bore rifles 27 all together at the same time on my FAC.Done all my own reloading from center fire to solid slug 12g for the pump action savage shotgun I had lol.
