What new airguns do you regret not buying.
- Thread starter joek
- Start date
There is an R8 for sale right now on Gun Broker, I do believe...I don't think they are available all that often, are they?

There was an R3M long .25 that someone sold at a great price. I should have sent the money right then instead of thinking about it. The gun sold in a few hours from what I remember. I'm still kicking myself after several weeks. Oops you said new.

FWB 124 on another classifieds.....if it didn't have a homemade stock I'd have already bought it ( but so would have 10 others probably ) that's the one I keep looking for.

Early 80's Beeman FWB125D in .177. I was in my early teens and had no income but I lusted after that rifle. Still do.

Hi, this is my first post. That would be the Feinwerkbau 124/127.
Having adopted an old Gun Digest from my Dad in the early 60's, most of my firearm purchases had been influenced by that annual publication right up to the early 80's. This includes a 60's Crosman Mk I, purchased with paper route earnings.
From about the late 60's they included at least one article an issue devoted to pellet guns, and that's where I learned about the Feinwerkbau. Came real close to picking one up, but never followed through.
That's all I knew about airguns in general, and a couple months ago when the interest finally hit, my first google search was Feinwerkbau.
Clockwise: 1969 ed., 1974, and 1978

I would like to know more about the TAU Safari C02. Have any links or is TAU an abbreviation?

I do have one regret. Black Friday 2017 I put a TX200HC in my PA shopping cart, it was a great deal that day, good BF discount and included some free AA pellets. I didn’t buy it, figuring I would be patient and pick it up on BF 2018. Well, needless to say, PA’s ‘18 BF sale Sucked Donkey, and the AAs where not included in the sale.

That would be the Air Arms Pro Sport, I still want to get one of those in .177. It is the most beautiful looking springer out there, bar none! I had the chance to buy one for roughly $350 with a walnut stock, but it had some rust on the barrel shroud. Nothing that couldn't be fixed with some TLC in retrospect. Still slap myself on the head every now and then when I see one.

There were several nice Theobens up for sale on GB just recently. I made a couple of bids on one of them but their "hard kicking" reputation kinda made me quit chasing. Nice looking guns though. Uj

Many years ago, I wanted a Beeman because it was the best airgun available. That would be about 1970. I think I saw the ads in the back of Boys Life. All I remember is that it was a .177 break barrel, but was supposed to be really good. I'd have gotten into airguns much sooner had I bought that gun.
