Favorite El Cheapo’s

Is that a Cuno ME Melcher Luger, or perhaps Umarex? Melcher makes a nice blank firing Luger in 9mm PAK, but it's not very quality made, there are just too many ZAMAK parts on it.

These are my favorites , though I've acquired a few 1377/1322's that are fun also.
These were part of a big group I bought around around 1993 or so for $5 each and a small number of other brands for $10 each . These are Mendoza Competencia's and are every bit as accurate as my FWB124 but better triggers. I currently have them running HW30 springs and piston seals @ about 7 ft lb. Light., accurate , and wonderful ergos... they were quite rough, like the left one, but have been restored now, like the right one. Just a blast to plink with...

Yea it’s pretty neat. I don’t know how much they were new. I imagine pretty cheap lol. The barrel is actually decently accurate.

I own somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 airguns and probably that many more sold or given away and I don't remember spending more than $300 on any one of them... yeah, cheap is my thing.

I think they were $58. The other one I really wish I had purchased was the side lever springer with the AK folding stock. Those were also dirt cheap and looked cool. Then there was that takedown rifle. These days they've all become collectible. I'm surprised that Gamo, Crosman or Hatsan never struck a deal with them to make their own version of any of them.
