Probably come out a better gun

I'd have thought @Gulo Luseus also , although @Audi Swift may have some form hear, and also @Airwolf1?

 

[Gulo Luseus]

I'd second @Airwolf1 one, pretty sdur ehe knows more abiut DS than DS, and @Audi Swift is pretty good.
as far as early guns go, I'm not too bad, definitely more hardware orientated.
More importantly, whats the question @Rich79 ?

 

[Airwolf1]

@jesim1 and @Gulo Luseus thanks for the mention. Feeling some pressure now!! Hopefully it's a question one of us can answer.

To be honest my main area of knowledge and focus of my collecting interest is the older Air Arms pre-charged rifles.

But I do collect examples of the other British made pre-charged from the 80's-90's so do try and find out what I can about them.

You never tend to disappoint, so I have attached myself to that

They were the pioneers of pcp's really. I remember when Don Lowndes from Fenny Bentley had one made, the idea coming from a vets tranquilizer gun when Joe Wilkins, later to become Ripley Rifles, was making airguns in Pinxton. I remember people who were into airguns at the time talking about the guns that Joe was building, something we'd not seen the like of before.

I have a fair bit of DS stuff from years gone by.... Mostly on my desktop not my mobile what I use most of the time for forums.

Maybe I should post some stuff up, but a few bits I cannot as it' was for my eyes only...
I don't deal with DS thesedays but I still like the older airguns.

Some mixed daystate things off my phone.
When I helped and ran the old DS end user forum... And did a bit at DS etc

I will post more when I can... Got a fair bit to look through or remember!

The link below as more stuff in it.
I can only post a limited amount on here.
