    Webley (Hatsan) VMX - spring or gas ram?

Very easy here in UK to get locked up for owning a 'firearm' without a license. Great excuse to order another gadget though as I've been wanting a chrono for...

    Webley (Hatsan) VMX - spring or gas ram?

    Hello all, hoping for some advice on a 'budget' springer I've recently acquired. Picked up a barely used Webley Valuemax .22 from my local dealer (pure impulse buy!) as the price was too good to ignore.

    Crosman 2200 Magnum resurrection ?

    Hi all, this is my first post in any forum ever! Whilst clearing out my attic I came across my first ever airgun which I bought new in 1985 as a teenager from a shop in Manchester, the Crosman 2200 Magnum which (to my shame) I had forgotten about for many years. When I put my hands on this rifle...
