Hi I have been a shooter for nearly 50 years - shotgun, firearms and black powder as well as being a collector. After a break of some years due to medical reasons I have moved back onto air gun shooting and as a collector am naturally drawn towards the better quality shootable replica items. Looking through your forums I am sure that there is a load of advice and guidance within the group and hopefully I can feed some back. Doug

That's you all set now doug, you've now got full access to the ' members only' sections (the 'Saloon' and the 'Bargain Basement'), feel free to have a 'mosey' around and post where ever you want. We're a friendly bunch of guys, so feel free to ask any questions you want and we'll do our very best to help you out. If you're wanting to post any photographs to the forum then your best bet is to have a picture hosting account with one of the many FREE websites that are available (Flickr, Postimage, imgbb, etc.), they'll give you a BBCode link to any of your pictures which you simply just 'paste' into your post. If you're needing any more information on posting pictures to the forum then go HEREAll that's left is to officially welcome you to the forum, so... So, go ahead, tell us what (if any) replicas you have so far, what's your interest (WWI, WWII, Western, revolvers, autos, rifles, etc.) ? Please be aware, this is STRICTLY a REPLICA airgun forum, we do not allow anything other than that on this forum. Please bear this in mind for all of your future posts, comments and threads. Any failure to follow this rule will lead to a warning, Jail time or even a permanent ban (and not necessarily in that order).

Welcome Doug, you’ll get plenty of inspiration for your collection here. Is there a particular era/style/type of replica you’re into? Either way I’m sure you’ll find the forum entertaining and educational. (And envy-inspiring)

Either way I’m sure you’ll find the forum entertaining and educational. (And envy-inspiring) I like revolvers especially - ACW through to WW11 which is a fairly wide field. As I am as a typical eclectic collector I am also not averse to automatic pistols up to WW11 and long guns. I am hoping that a few of the western guns can slot in to fill in gaps in my collection of originals (many of which have been fired during my black powder period)

Ever the Salesman, lol Doyle the Gun salesman: Young man, young man! I'd like you to have this new Colt Peacemaker and gun belt. Free of charge. Marty McFly: Free? Doyle the Gun salesman: I want everyone to know that the gun that shot The RAF Gunfighter was a Colt Peacemaker. Marty McFly: Hey, no problem. Thanks a lot! Doyle the Gun salesman: Of course, you understand, that if you lose I'm taking it back.

Hi I was looking at your ad before you popped onto my feed and was sorely tempted. It is my wedding anniversary next week so I can easily slide another parcel through as a potential present for my good lady. On that basis lets go for it.
