Thanks John !

It's good to see what is available in England. If we're lucky some of these air guns will make it he to the States !

Fun to watch though !

Thanks !

Thanks for the link John, it was some very interesting viewing. I really liked the Edgar Brothers takedown rifle. It seems like a top of the line rifle. Good shooting, snookman

Thanks guys, some really interesting stuff coming through the pipline. The whole airgun scene is having something of  a revival at the moment and what with the current economic climate there is a big surge of back to basics airgunning and the spring guns are coming to the fore. I guess really over the last few years the market has been dominated by the PCP sector with a myriad of models from the Brit companies. I try to keep an even mix in the gun room. Can't ever forget your roots and my springers get a regular outing!

Cheers all :)

Great link John. Thanks for you contribution mate...:) From what I am reading the  Edgar Brothers PCP and springers are coming from Turkey. Would be interesting to get your take on the quality and workmanship of the guns out of Turkey. What we have seen so far here in the US is pretty poor.

Edgar brothers are more of a distribution house here in the U.K. They bring to market all manner of products and have some badged lines.
The Turkish (Hatsan) were the manufacturers recently for the Webley name as well as trading directly. As you say, not great and generally avoided by many and regarded as a 'budget' option. Certainly did no favours for the historic name of Webley. Ahh well, lets see what the future holds. They seem to be bringing things back in house.
Now if they could re introduce the Tempest, Hurricane and Omega (built to time travel standards) they would fly out the door!
Cheers all :)
