The most dodgy looking geezers were the gruesome-twosome from Ilkeston with the gangster baseball caps.

Oh never saw them!, lovely rifles their hurts me that i can no longer manage to shoot them, spotted a Nemesis their, but sadly wrong calibre. Hopefully the Migraine is gone now so you can play pistols.

Brilliant pictures - thank you for posting them

Lovely little thing that Harper micro tac is - not sure how legal they are to sell these days however...

The Harper Micro pistol is 100% legal to own and sell, as the pellet is not stored on the cartridge, but is put into the breech separately.
The number of people who have tried to tell me that I cannot sell it just shows how convaluted the law surrounding the tac cartridge guns is, and how ill informed a lot of people are.

I thought there might be some loop hole here hence why I said I was "not sure"...

I resemble that remark.

Possibly Mark, unless it sells in the meantime, although I am not advertising it , as I quiet like its querkyness ( if that is a word.)
Not many folks who looked at it have any idea what it is , or who Steve Harper is. , which I find strange. ?

Does anyone know the name of the seller in the camo jacket standing on the left? He was selling a Parker Hale .22 which I would like to contact him about.

Good evening gentle folk,
I forgot to mention this earlier, but Having booked two tables at the Airgun fairs for the last 12 years or so, and have had a fantastic time meeting you lot, I was dissapointed to find .... after getting home , unloading and doing a stock take that I was missing a pistol. !
Yes, sadly for the first time ever , I have had a pistol stolen from my table.
I know I willl never recover it, and it wasn`t rare or collectable , but theft is theft .
It was a replica co2 powered pistol ... FN Herstal 509 blowback bb pistol , which cost me itro £150 when bought new. I had it for sale at , I think £80.
So fellow collectors , next time you are at this event do try and keep an eye on your stock. It was very busy all day last Sunday, and I wasn`t always at my table, but my oppo was, but its easy to get distracted talking to potential buyers.

Dissapointed tbh.
Pete.

That is shameful Pete; there are some vile scumbags around.

It's sad that there are such lowlife individuals frequenting what should be a celebration of our collective interest.

 

[John M]

Sorry to hear that Pete.

Sadly, there are scumbags that take advantage of crowds and busy stalls at fairs.

I guess I am lucky, in that it`s the first time in over a decade that I have ` lost` an item on display. I am not bitter.... I have already put a curse on the pistol, which will now leak like a sieve and break a non replacable part. !!

There's none much worse than thieves and liars mate. Despicable behaviour, hopefully won't happen again. This sort of thing taints it for everyone.

Is this on again later this year at all? Thoroughly enjoyed it last year.
