I still have my FWB 124D in primo shape, recently rebuilt and tuned, but the Feinwerkbau 124 Deluxe would be my pick. Accurate, reasonably fast, and a beauty. The walnut stock would be extra nice.

If you could bring one gun back from the dead, which would it be and why?

Good choice. Many would request a better trigger. But mine would be a carbine barrel. And certainly a walnut option.

The plain old Diana 34 with the TO6 trigger....It was the perfect balance between cost and quality and easily tuned to some thing wonderful...

I'm not one for leaving the pretty toys in the safe either. They were meant to be enjoyed so I do. Just extra carefully

I'll let you know when I come back from the dead. I'm not in any rush.
I didn't think I could even take them with me in the first place.
That would be a good way to keep your heirs from messing up the guns you took such good care of.
Half those end up rusting in a basement or handed off to a step child that shoots nails out of it.
So if I can take them with me I might as well bring them all back.

As much as I’d like to get my hands on many of the classics I think a better idea then resurrecting an old design is introducing a brand new rifle that takes some styling queues from the past but also incorporates new engineering knowledge. The recent LGV/LGU did not do anything that was really innovative, they are/were awesome rifles that took old and popular design ideas but applied tight engineering tolerances to make a great product. Unfortunately, many folks didn’t see it as enough incentive to buy (trigger didn’t help).
What I’d like to see is something with classic lines, built using the latest CNC tech, along with:
1. Tune-ability - easy to disassemble with features that allow quick adjustments to spring tension, piston weight and transfer port flow.
2. Customizability - make the platform as modular as possible. People love to customize their guns with accessories like air strippers, moderators, hamsters, bi-pod attachments, adjustable triggers, etc. it doesn’t have to be tacti-cool to have such features.
3. It doesn’t have to be cheap. Daystate, Rolex, and others have proven that you can charge a reasonable price for Niche product if the quality and features are there. Let’s face it guys, we can’t have our cake and eat it too.

An English-made Webley Tomahawk because it is a big beautiful springer that is finished better than most other springers,reminds me of my Akita dog,.both big and beautiful and with an
attitude. That is a ten-shoot group at 30 yards with AA Falcon 13.43,I have a AHQ tune it in to make it more like a 14-16 lbs. rifle, before that it was in the power range of the RWS-48-52 that I have.
News flash,I just got its' little brother an English Longbow!!@!

He had assembled all of the Airgun World Theoben articles. All catalogued. So much of the Theoben history as it unfurled. I had it bookmarked but the link went dead. I emailed the gentleman several times and never got a reply. I should contact Danny Garvin. He might know something. About it. Those articles were incredible.

For me it would be an updated Webley Tracker and keeping the tap loader, maybe increase the compression tube size a bit, put in a more efficient piston seal than the ptfe and get a bit more power. Everything else about the rifle was great so no changes to anything else.
