Re: Christmas Airgun Wishlist
As regards airguns I'd be very happy to find a working & unspoilt Airmatch 600 / 650 under the tree on Christmas morning. I sometimes wonder where my old one I p/x'd in the early 1990's ended up. It had a lovely aluminium trigger blade by Framar who were the distributors when I bought it 10 or more ...

Surely the factory test target date must be the most precise record you'll find for your pistol?DFWdude wrote:I have an LP53. The factory target is dated 18/8/58, and the serial number is 030806. The target indicates 1958 manufacture, but I would like to verify.

Re:
I am planning to make a small run of the LP53 spring steel rear sight base/holder. I have to cost it all out to see what the price will be - but if there is any interest, please let me know as the more I can cut/shape/temper and black at a time, the more it will reduce the cost of them. The smalle...

Re: Incompetent airgunsmith + bad advice = one dead airgun.
What an awful story. A few years ago a friend to his an Air-Arms rifle to a butcher (sorry - respected airgun expert repairer) in the Middlewich area of Cheshire to have a larger silencer fitted. The gun was a beautiful one-off used by Air-Arms for publicity purposes, the walnut stock could have gra...

This condition strictly speaking would have prevented me usi...

Walther CP1 - well travelled.
Some pistols just look as if they'll shoot tiny groups & this Walther CP 1 certainly did in a March 1982 advert. http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g362/webley700/CP1/1a98ef12bc5193fc0a07e4cf8c6eba8b.jpg A radical departure from the LP53, LP2, LP3 progression of rather 'upright' pistols which seeme...
