Have you bought a compressor or hand pump. Get a compressor. Also for unnecessary air rifles see mine on the tools thread. . . It’s got a usb c socket ! Unnecessary as I’ve got three and it’s just for squirrels!
I never understood the obsession with guns, even air rifles, but then I went shooting, my god it's addictive! We played with an air powered pistol, then a few rifles including one with a scope, then went onto shotguns. I had such a blast!
Although once I'd gotten home and researched some prices I quickly changed my mind

My setup cost me less than £500 all in.... Baikal (Soviet era) with modern style single trigger over/under setup - £200
Licence and medical etc - £100
Police approved cabinet from UK company BrattonSound (avoiding the cheap Chinese made cabinets) - £200

The US attraction to firearms makes a little more sense when you consider that they can pick up a new AR-15 for £285.Baikal (Soviet era) with modern style single trigger over/under setup - £200

I’m currently building an L1A1/SLR to replicate/honour the one my father was issued in The Scot’s Guards.
Quite an enjoyable process to create the rifle. It’ll shoot pretty poorly in comparison to any of my modern ones, but will more than make up for that shortfall in the pleasure of having something my father used.
I’m US based before anyone gets a little excited….
Whilst I agree it looks lovely I thought the unwritten rules of this thread was that cars, bikes etc were banned. Can’t remember a time when people posted them anyway, I’d say all of mine are frivolous but never posted here (I think/hope!)
Traction engines, hovercraft, jet powered trikes etc are different gravy. But buying a car to drive on the roads is a bit, well, unfrivolous.

I’ve deleted my post. I don’t spend much time on PH these days, the unwritten rules can be difficult to follow. The Range Rover posted further up this page without complaint suggested this was not an unwritten rule! Not sure buying a car to drive on the roads cannot be considered frivolous though.
