trawling ebay I saw that aparently old (& empty) pellet tins are worth a premium!
eBay item number 353092685277
I'm rich!
think I've a few full tins also, wonder if I can pay off my mortgage?
I spotted some old airrifle magazines so ended up caught in a loop, then spotted a cover that took my eye...
I recognised the shiney brass breach and the "Carter Classic" comment, I owned this rifle.
so a 'bin' later & I'm expecting a copy of Airgun World November 1996 to arrive in a few days
I've seen the 'Carter countryside' vids (have cd copies somewhere?) and knew of the article but never considered looking for it
http://www.airgunbbs.com/showthread.php ... om-aa-s300
^^the advert I saw (& bought from) in March 2008, was setup as left-handed loading-bolt then & in a beech ambi standard stock (still have the stock)
photo's from the bbs advert....
interestingly, the rifle I had was in '300 configuration with the 'barrel-band' mounted to the stock, the mag article shows '400 configuration with the 'barrel-band' located on the filler-valve in the '8-clamp' style...
was this the same rifle or were a few made?
I'll probably never know (unless theres details in the mag) as I sold the rifle sometime 2009 or 2010 & have no idea as to its location (if it still exists?)
the rifle I bought was an early serial-number and had the early 'hammer' that didn't have any 'du' bushes that run on the hammer-rail, also had the early trigger assembly that would not 'cock with the muzzle pointing down (AA altered this by adding a spring to the sear)
obviously I upgraded & fettled it & it was a good rifle, used on a few club competitions with good results (but this highlighted the standard stock's cheekpiece hight being too low!)
more waffle to come

Bleugh!
it is my firm belief that people who declare they have a 'bigger signature than' someone are trying to make up for something else

Was this the golden gun Colin Boughton-beggly had

Ha.
yes but 'Odd' literally, doctors orders to cut down (drastically)
was suggested as 3-4 cups a day (as opposed to an hour )
