PH air gun thread - what have you got?

AA S410 modded by Steve Jenkins which is laying unused. Might flog if I don't find the time to start again.
Edit: I'm saying "Steve". The bloke who used to do the testing and reviews for magazines? Lived opposite hence I ended up with one of his development guns

I've got a BSA, can't remember the model though...
It was my Dad's, I think he got it in the late 50s, second hand when he was about 10. It was dated from the serial no to just after the second world war, the stock is made from wood that was originally earmarked for Spitfire build but no longer required. I fully stripped and restored it. It is slightly more powerful than a pea shooter, but looks pretty.

AA S510 that I haven’t shot in a few years now. Need to replace my air tank as it’s out of test and got a pain in the arse valve.
Supremely accurate, won quite a few comps with it, but it’s not getting a look in against my rimfire and centrefire rifles.
My dad has the S510 ultimate sporter and for Xmas just gone, we got him the tactical kit for it which is very nice but a bit pricey for what it is. Supremely accurate, won quite a few comps with it, but it’s not getting a look in against my rimfire and centrefire rifles.
Somewhere in a cupboard I have a pre-war Webley springer. A service air rifle mark two I think. In 177. It belonged to my Grandma, she used it to shoot rats I believe.
I was a pretty good shot with it as a kid, could hit a matchbox (a small one before you ask) at 50 yards more often than not.
Haven't used it for years as I now live in that London where although there are still plenty of rats in the garden, I would get arrested if I tried taking potshots at them;)
If anyone knows of an air rifle club in SE London where I could shoot it, I would be interested to find out.
It probably needs a bit of recommissioning first!

Yeah, agree 100%. Ridiculously accurate and easy to shoot, I really like the wooden stock on mine but I get my tactical fix with my RPR

Ive got a Webley Xocet .22 carbine
Me too. Great rifle; had mine 20 years now. I only shoot springers - it's what I grew up with and I'm accurate enough with it that I don't feel the need to change.Mine also has a scope on it, that was the cheapest one in the shop at time of purchase. The shopkeeper fitted it for me, I zeroed it that day, and I haven't had to zero it again since, despite use and probably not quite enough care taken in storage and transport. I have no idea why. Maybe cheap=simple=reliable.

BSA Polaris Underlever with a BSA Jaguar 3-12x56IR. Bought for me when I was a lad by my old man. Haven't used it in a while and do want to get back into shooting, albeit clays, just need to find a decent club around Oxford !
I’ve just spent the day at ej Churchill clay ground. Was excellent. jjones said:
hw100, need to dig it out, bottle is out of test so will look into a pump i think.
Look into a compressor like this from Amazon. Bit noisy but pumps the gun straight up !
