   Hi Muzza,
Welcome aboard!  

If you like Vintage, you might like to ask David Hartley at Magnum Sports in Stratford to show you his Gifford air rifle!

It's a really wonderful old air rifle - 1880's I think?!

	Welcome Muzza. I have very little experience with rimfire, although if I lived in the countryside I know I would have shot them more. If you had some photos of your favourites, feel free to load them here, we're always keen to see.

	Hi muzza. Guess you'll be in good company. Seem to be a few collectors on site and small bore shooter s. ( Not me though ) Be keen to hear your views on a few of your vintage guns. Maybe a few pics. Always great to look back at yesteryear. Welcome aboard.

	Been lurking for a while - signed up ages ago but never got round to participating. Apparently I have a fetish for vintage air rifles , which ties in with my fetish for vintage .22 rimfire rifles.
