Hello all,
In my new "local" gun store the friendly owner asked me what I thought of a new rifle he'd been sent by the UK manufactuers/importers "Brocock". Have you heard of them in the States?
Anyhow, the rifle is an all metal, rifled barrel, full size firing lead or steel BB's with a type of hop up mag' using two 12g CO2 powerlets in the plastic stock. It is beautifully made and very solid. It has a cocking handle in the right place and looks really great :)
Apologies but no photos etc. I asked him if I could take it away and play with it on "approval" but he was hanging onto it for a while :0
He told he thought it was made by a company for Brocock who normally make training guns for the army. He estimated a velocity of around 300 fps so not really useful for hunting but it would be a lot of fun shooting beer cans etc. I tried Googling but nothing showed up. Has anyone else seen one?
regards,
Alan :)

Hi Gene,
Here are few photos of the rifle. The one photo is poor but it says AR11A and .177 cal plus serial number.
Pretty cool looking to my eye 8) The images are quite large so may take a while to download but I kept them big so folks can have abetter look.
regards,
Alan

I am not sure on that matter. The gun store owner has not been told a price by his suppliers but we thought something around the £250 - £300 mark, that's about US$500 - US$600. Hmmm. Most air gun stuff is way over priced in the UK :0
Still it's a cutie and I will try to find out the price when I can.
regards,
Alan
