Recently joined the AGN Forum and posted a intro in the General Information sub-forum. Was kindly welcomed and one respondent asked if I could post up a few of my air rifles. So, thought best to do that here and leave a link back on the other. I once owned both a German MARS and Heinel BB German youth trainers some years ago (but let them go as being peripheral to my interests at the time). Have owned a couple Hakim rifles in past, too... but was not a fan of the muzzle blast one bit! Do have a nice Czech Vz24 with lion crest (dated 38), so when the opportunity came along to pick up the trainer, it was hard to resist. As for the Hakim trainer, a friend has been thinning his large arms collection for 15 years and offered me the trainer at a very friendly price, so got it as well. Would have to say that potato digger cocking/pump lever is perhaps the most lengthy I have ever seen! Both function perfectly and though under powered by today's standards, are still a hoot to shoot...
