Found some nice guns at the Baldwinsville Airgun Show in upstate New York. Here I'll introduce you to these beauties without going into too much detail
All three rifles are stunning. You are indeed lucky to have access to show's displaying and selling quality rifles such as these. Enjoy them. Thanks for the informative videos
Absolutely beautiful air rifles, id take the theoben , about 28 years ago i bought a weihrauch hw90 k because i couldn't afford a theoben , i still have it , that webly though is absolutely stunning , congratulations 3 amazing guns
Thanks George. They're all kinda custom. I believe you're looking at the nickel plated HW50S. It's wearing what's called a laminate stock. They come in all colors and really make for a modern look. Thanks for watching, my friend.
@@DomRivers67 Nope. Not yet. 😁 I'd love to hold that rifle in my hands. Those early BSAs are classics. I had a chance at three of them as a lot when I was in my twenties. No money and lots of responsibility forced me to pass. I still remember them like it was yesterday.
I have a smaller collection than yours but I have several air rifles. The HW50 is my favorite because it's very, very accurate, small, light and powerful enough, the rifle with the best stroke of all the Weihrauch. But my 50 is 7 years old, the new 50 pipes with the painted logo, are very weird with the pellets. Very, very beautiful your new rifles.
Thanks, Carlos. I agree. It's hard to beat the 50S for the power, accuracy, and weight combination. Just an awesome rifle. Thanks as always, my friend.
Hello, my friend. Some of the comments have suggested that the Longbow is Venom version. Evidently, Venom was teamed up with Webley for a time early on. Thanks for watching.
Wow. All 3 are very lucky picks. But the Theoben gaspiston you dont find m much anymore. I once had the opportunty to buy one. When the pcp's became all the hype. And i was foolish to go with the trend. But the Webley and Weihrauch ,I mean if you could pick only one is impossible 😁
All 3, absolutely stunning rifles, what an excellent trip you had, if it were me, and I had that much luck, I'd rush out and buy a lottery ticket.😂, looking forward to the reviews.👍👍
Have you ever thought of selling your voice for audio books or just narrating. You might have a side hustle you haven’t thought of yet. Great videos nice pellet rifles.
Folks look down on my air rifles. But in the right hand they r excellent. Cheap fun shooting for me. Something people don't realize until they start the sport. Ammo gets expensive. I would hunt Amazon like a nut
It doesn't matter what you're shooting. All that matters is that it gives you that single-minded zone when you're concentrating on the target and nothing else in the world exists in that moment...That's the magic of the shooting sports. Enjoy your guns. Let 'em think what they want. Stay in the zone...and thanks for watching, my friend.
Hits with authority, Amen to that. The Longbow was one of the models heavily influenced by the lads at Venom Arms, who formed the Webley Venom Custom Shop in the late 1990's. The improvement to the triggers was one of the first priorities they made to the designs.
Love starting my morning with your calming videos. Great new toys you got there! Must feel really good to shoot one of those sighted rifles and nail a far away target. I finally managed to get my hands on a break barrel pistol...couldnt get any of the ones you meantioned but got something simular atleast. I got a diana p5 (the mod 5 looked way better but it's Canada!). And I also just ordered a Beeman p17 (the hw40weirauch would be better). I am just happy I finally got my hands on something! My p5 with iron sights is super accurate because I have no training or practice and I'm able to hit things at decent distance, I feel myself getting better each time I get out there. I really love the workout the break barrel offers, it becomes almost like fishing or something where the movements involved are just very therapeutic. And even more so when you get that ring when you hit something metal. I need a bell like you ! Sounds so great when you nailed that with a stronger shot... Sucks about the rotator cup injury. Nothing is worse than injuries that stop you from doing what you love. Glad you aren't letting it stop you from getting out there ! Keep strong and keep making videos!!!
the longbow was done by a guy named jan kranner one of the best tuners and stock makers out there some of the parts used are venom. But the stock was done by him and the tuning also the trigger.
@@razor1962I said it was either out of Venom Custom Shop or Someone had done a full reproduction. 🤷🏼♂️ Jan's one of a Very Few people who could have pulled that off... 😉👍 I should have recognized the checkering, but it's been a very long time since I've seen Jan's work, He does exceptionally nice Finish and Checkering, but he goes all out on the tuning as well. 😃👍 I learned quite a bit from Jan on the old Custom Airgun Forum.😊
A GAMO Hunter Can be tuned to far exceed it's retail performance. 😉 I have seen some truly impressive GAMO Hunters ! 😯 Ya just gots to put the stem on the apple ! 🍎 😉👍
Three very nice rifles that you picked, i am looking forward to the videos on each of them. I hope your shoulder comes good again without any problems. Cheers from Australia
Wow, what a collection........ I bet your bank account is suffering 😂. I think the Webley is my favourite, you have hit lucky with the grain, it is walnut isn't it? Sometimes it can be very straight grained and boring but that is beautiful. The Thoeben, I love the idea of a powerful air rifle, I'm very close to getting my FAC, it's been so far a 20 week process, but there is nowhere locally I could shoot an FAC air rifle. I do agree with the very strict laws we have in the UK but sometimes I envy you guys across the pond.
Hi Mick. An early congratulations on your FAC. Yes, the Longbow has a beautiful walnut stock. I'm really looking forward to working with these rifles. Thanks as always, my friend.
Beautiful rifles!...love that HW50s stock, looks amazing with the sliver barrel & scope 🤩 Theoben Eliminator😍...same as a Beeman Crow Magnum, I absolutely LOVE big bore break barrels...thats 100% a keeper!! (Getting hard to find now) ...I feel ya on the 50-60p cocking force, spent the day on the range with my carnivore .30 - its a work out that you feel for days!! 😂 Kia kaha Kevin...great purchases! (Thanks for sharing)
Thanks, Willy. Big bore break barrels huh, that's a cool niche. That Theoben is a big gun. And it packs a punch for sure. Can't wait to spend some time with it.
yes the carnivore .30 with the gas ram at 160 bar is a workout , the eliminator was till the webley patriot came the most powerfull ,and now are the hatsans the king .in springerguns
Hi David. Yes, the Theoben will definitely take some critters bigger than bunnies. Hyedua is quite rare and no longer available, according to my good friend, Marc.
The blueing is indeed amazing on that webley, have the webley patriot and its blueing is on par with the TX 200. high quality, looks like a thick layer of enamel. Love to get my hands on a (old) Theoben have none in my collection , your Eliminator looks amazing. Will be waiting for the follow up video.
Great Rifles Kevin,you must have been like a child in a sweet shop at the show😊 I'm trying to buy a weihrauch Hw30 with a Grey Laminate stock, they are only available in the USA at Airguns of Arizona I think?
Hi Stephen. Yes, I could've spent a lot more money there. So many desirable guns. I'm pleased with my purchases, though. I'll definitely go there again in the future. Thanks as always, my friend.
Theoben 'Eliminator' air rifle is aptly named with that much cocking effort, it would eliminate me from being able to cock it, what with my rotator cuff injury too :) Beautiful rifles Kevin, I am especially interested in seeing what the Weihrauch HW50S will do, as I own one in .177 cal and it is a smooth shooter for me.. Thank you Kevin, for showing us these, I am looking forward to upcoming videos on these.
Thanks Reg. Yeah the shoulder is gonna keep me from getting too much trigger time on the Theoben. I am able to cock it left handed though, so I'll be having some fun with it. Thanks as always, my friend.
Hey Kevin, Congratulations on your finds!!! I am looking forward to watching your review videos for these guns. Also, please do a brief description video or talk about Airgun show that you have gone to. I never knew there was such a thing. How big an event is it? How often do they have events? Where are they? Do they have competitions? Etc.? Thanks again. Stay Safe. Be Well. GOD BLESS.
Hi Ken. The show was relatively small. It was held in a small barn at an American Legion hall in New York. They hold the show there once every summer. There are other airgun shows across the country, but sadly, they're not within a reasonable travel distance from me. There were several vendors and some very interesting stuff for sale. I'll definitely do it again. Although there was a shooting range out back for testing the guns, there was no competition. From what I understand, there have been competitions there in the past. Thanks for watching, my friend.
3 lovely guns, I’m sure you will really enjoy shooting them! I always wanted a Theoben countryman carbine when they were released but didn’t have the funds at the time. Their quality is about as good as it gets for air rifles, so will be interesting to see how the Eliminator shapes up.
@@marcmyers1465 Thank you sir. I actually have a couple 6500s already. I'm really hoping to get my hands on an actual Anschutz stamped one for the collection
Another interesting video , I think the theoben was best. , In the next video dont forget to tell us how much they cost , Looking forward to the next review
Exciting! I can't wait to see you test them out! One of the things I appreciate about your channel is that you do plenty of .177 rifles. It seems like most reviewers focus just on .22. I'm just a target shooter and not a hunter so I tend towards .177 myself. My primary rifle is my .177 HW50s in the stainless look.
Great finds Kevin 👍 My HW80 is in .25 cal, also a beast with an enormous knock down power. JSB King's and Hades will do the job. Looking forward to your next videos 😁
I have a Longbow. Proper Birmingham model. I put it in an SE thumbhole stock (the Turkish Longbow stock) and it's just gorgeous. The bluing on mine is the best of all my Webley's, deep shine & lustrous blue, so yours may well be factory blued. Trigger is the equal to the record in my opinion, only not simple to adjust. Accurate and a tribute to Venom, who at the time were a part of Webley. Such a shame Webley proper went down when it did because the Tomahawk & Longbow are fabulous rifles. Your Theoben is very nice as well, I have a Fenman, amazing gun. 👍
Thanks so much. I'm thoroughly impressed with the Longbow. It shoots, cocks and looks fantastic. The Theoben is one of those must have guns and the tricked out 50S is , well, just beautiful. Thanks as always, my friend.
Kevin, Wow, nice buys! That big Theoben I shot years ago at Standing Stone. It too was in .25 caliber. Unheard of knockdown power. 30 plus foot pounds. The stocks on both the Longbow and the 50S are just gorgeous! ScottinPa.
The longbow was an absolute superb rifle made to suit the uk 12ftlbs limits, it was much nicer to shoot over the tomahawk which I have. The theoben is a beast of an airgun but after half an hour your arm really knows its had a work out.
Thanks, Robert. I think that the Longbow is my favorite of the three. The Eliminator is a curiosity for me. I'm certain that I'll enjoy sending those heavy pellets down range. Thanks as always, my friend.
Hi Kevin, I definitely think you've come up trumps there. I bet you feel like a dog with two tails, lol. I hope I'm not insulting your intelligence, I have some information you and your readers may find interesting. Weihrauch Air Rifles have a gas ram air rifle in their line up, its the HW90. When Weihrauch first launched their HW90, Theoben Air Rifles from Cambridge in England manufactured the gas ram unit for them. Theoben consisted of two gentlemen, David Theobald and Ben Taylor, Consequently, making Theo Ben. Ben Taylor was working on his motorcycle Suzuki forks, and that's where the idea for gas ram air rifles came from. The gas ram units work on the same principle as motorcycle forks. I think it was the year 2004 when Theoben ceased to exist. Theoben made fantastic air rifles, and it was with the help from those two gentlemen, we have what we know as pcp air rifles today, with their buddy bottles and pellet magazines. The Theoben Rapid pcp air rifle was another fantastic invention and led the way to what we have and enjoy today. They were in 12ftlb format and FAC, too. Theoben were formed in 1982. They manufactured spring, gas ram, and pcp air rifles, the quality of which was to die for. If I had been older, I'd have owned some of those genius air rifles. As you'll know, Kevin, the blueing, engineering machining tolerances, ideas, workmanship/craftsmanship know how, was off the scale. Just fabulous air rifles. I think the two gentlemen at the time took on an apprentice, who worked his way up through the business and eventually purchasing it and took it to America where they became RAW, Rapid Air Weapons. I think they are continuing to manufacture the Theoben Rapid in an up to date format. I remember as a youngster, seeing my dad's Airgun World magazine. Before he came home from work, I had a window of time where I could quickly look at it, then put it back exactly as I found it. I'd have dearly loved one of those gorgeous air rifles, though I knew I didn't have a hope in hell. I so wish Theoben were around today. What they manufactured was genius and so proud they were British when Britain was Great x. Thank you, Kevin. Goodbye for now, my friend.
@razor1962 Hi Kevin, Hey, thank you. I wasn't sure if you'd know and thought some of your viewers maybe interested too. Theoben were gorgeous, well-made bank vault type air rifles, whether they were spring piston, gas ram, or pcp. I've viewed their latest Rapid air rifle which looks fantastic. People moan about their cost, however, they cost most more to produce. Manufacturers don't give quality away. Best wishes, Kevin, Ian.
Hi Kevin, I forgot to mention. There is another small, British air rifle manufacturer who make fantastic pcp air rifles. They are called Ripley Air Rifles. Anyone interested, check them out. You definitely will not be disappointed.
I never thought about if there were any airgun shows to attend. Yet another thing to research out. Baldwinsville, NY is a bit far off, but maybe there’s a local, to me, show out there I can attend one day. It would be fun to hunt out a find like you have done. I saw in one of your videos that you buy some rifles second hand and I was wondering how you accomplished that. Great timing on this upload! 👍👍 Thanks to you and a few others I ordered my first “nice” airgun, a Weihrauch HW30S, this past week. Unfortunately the company I got it from doesn’t seem to have it together, so I’ll have to wait another week to get it. Going through your vids is helping me out. I didn’t think I’d like a stainless steel finish on a Weihrauch, but I think I really do. What a great little pickup. I hope to see it featured soon. I hope your shoulder makes a quick recovery and it’s not too serious. I’m not sure the bell is going to recover though. That .25 made the bell ring the loudest I’ve heard so far. 😂
Hello my friend. You couldn't have chosen a nicer rifle. You're going to love your 30s. There are several airgun forums on the internet. Most, if not all of them, have a classified section where members can buy and sell. So glad to see that you're enjoying the channel. Thanks so much for watching.
@@razor1962I received it last night, and you’re absolutely right. I love it! I put about 150 pellets through it today. When I first picked it up, I could just feel that the build quality is above and beyond. I feel like I’m shooting with a piece of art that’s also a well oiled machine. I can’t even imagine how amazing the rifles in your collection are now!!!
Nice group, The Eliminator with it's Shed -you- ah stock [not correct spelling] This timber only used for a short time, Rumor has it that as a rare hardwood it's export was banned. Eliminators to be found in most gun auctions in the UK average value approx £110 pounds, due to the FAC requirement. The rather lovely Longbow you have acquired is very non standard it has all the appearance of a Venom unit. In an auction here value approx £450. As for the 50 well tuned HW 50's are tuned HW 50's always solid bits of kit. In UK expect to pay approx £350 plus commission for a custom model like this. How does this compare with prices you paid???
Thanks David. The hyedua stocks were pretty special. As far as pricing is concerned, let's just say that I would've preferred to buy them in the UK. 🤣🤣🤣 Your knowledge of these guns is extensive. Thanks so much for watching.
Sorry Nibs. I had no idea. The show was last Saturday and Friday. They do it every year. I'm surprised you weren't aware. I'll try to remind you next year. Would've loved to have met you in person.
I'm sorry, Koenraad. I'm having trouble understanding you. If you have a wood screw that's stripped, you can try inserting a small piece of wood into the hole (something like a toothpick), then run the screw in. It will usually solve the problem.
Great choice of rifles, beautiful On the piston rifle is it as violent as a springer is to shoot? Heard pros and cons, just wondering. Looking forward to more vids on these 3, thanks

Hope to see more of the Theoben in future videos... what a lucky find... don't ever sell it!
Thanks, Tony. I'm looking forward to working with theTheoben, too. Such a unique rifle. Thanks as always, Tony.
Incredibly nice, especially the last two. They just don't make them like that anymore.
Sadly, you are correct, my friend. That's why I'm always looking for the older stuff.
Dam right m8 theoben gone bust years go now !!! The only good springers that I know now are hw's German made !!.
Wow! Beautiful guns….
Thanks very much, and thanks for watching.
Nice looking rifles..good deal👍👍

There were several vendors and some very interesting stuff for sale. I'll definitely do it again. Although there was a shooting range out back for testing the guns, there was no competition. From what I understand, there have been competitions there in the past.
Thanks for watching, my friend.
wow, I love all of them!
Thanks very much.
3 lovely guns, I’m sure you will really enjoy shooting them!
I always wanted a Theoben countryman carbine when they were released but didn’t have the funds at the time.
Their quality is about as good as it gets for air rifles, so will be interesting to see how the Eliminator shapes up.
Thank you. I'm definitely looking forward to getting to know each of these rifles.
There are no words to describe how jealous I am right now. Great finds!
Hey S.F. 👋 I do actually have A near mint Crosman 6500/Anschutz 335 available, if you're interested... 🤷🏼♂️
Lol....Sorry buddy.
@@razor1962 I'll get over it haha. Enjoy your new toys. They look great!
@@marcmyers1465 Thank you sir. I actually have a couple 6500s already. I'm really hoping to get my hands on an actual Anschutz stamped one for the collection
@@KeystoneAirgunsThis one's actually "Fully" tuned, if you should ever change your mind. 😉
Holy moly, color me jealous! That Theoben is gorgeous.
She's a looker ! 😲 Gorgeous Hyedua Stock, Excellent Bluing. 🤤👌
Thanks Jason. I'm thrilled to have been able to grab it up.
Thanks for watching.
Another interesting video , I think the theoben was best. , In the next video dont forget to tell us how much they cost , Looking forward to the next review
Costs ? Uh yeah... Then everyone's Wives could compare notes ! 😃
GREAT Idea... 😒👍
It dont mean you have to buy them , I can see ,You must be under the thumb, 👎😂
@@MalcolmJames-sg3zgFair comment... 🤷🏼♂️
I remodeled my last home 3 times in 10 years... It was a Bloody New Home ! 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Thanks, Malcolm. Much appreciated.
@@MalcolmJames-sg3zgHow many rifles do you own Malcolm ? 🤷🏼♂️
Exciting! I can't wait to see you test them out! One of the things I appreciate about your channel is that you do plenty of .177 rifles. It seems like most reviewers focus just on .22. I'm just a target shooter and not a hunter so I tend towards .177 myself. My primary rifle is my .177 HW50s in the stainless look.
Thanks Austin. I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying the channel.
Nice wood! Maybe time for cortisone shot.
Thanks, Ken.
I hadn't considered cortisone. This has happened before and it healed over time. Fingers crossed 🤞.
I saw that somehow I hit the dislike button instead of the like button. The shot helped me heal much quicker. @@razor1962
Great finds Kevin 👍 My HW80 is in .25 cal, also a beast with an enormous knock down power. JSB King's and Hades will do the job. Looking forward to your next videos 😁
Thanks Ron. Always a pleasure, my friend.
i got a hw 90 in .25 .also a theoben gasram
You landed on your feet there,superb guns.🏴
@@peteralexbenTheoben sourced "Proper Struts" ! Much Finer shot cycle... 😊
I have a Longbow. Proper Birmingham model. I put it in an SE thumbhole stock (the Turkish Longbow stock) and it's just gorgeous.
The bluing on mine is the best of all my Webley's, deep shine & lustrous blue, so yours may well be factory blued.
Trigger is the equal to the record in my opinion, only not simple to adjust.
Accurate and a tribute to Venom, who at the time were a part of Webley.
Such a shame Webley proper went down when it did because the Tomahawk & Longbow are fabulous rifles. Your Theoben is very nice as well, I have a Fenman, amazing gun. 👍
Thanks so much. I'm thoroughly impressed with the Longbow. It shoots, cocks and looks fantastic. The Theoben is one of those must have guns and the tricked out 50S is , well, just beautiful. Thanks as always, my friend.
Definitely appears to be a Venom muzzle break on Kevin's... 🤔
@marcmyers1465 The gun has had some serious work done to it. Everything about it is exquisite.
Steve "Corcoran" ! Excellent Stock Maker and just a Helluva A Guy ! 😉👍 love the Eliminator bell shot ! 😁👍
Thanks Marc. Steves' stocks are very sexy.... The little 50s sits real pretty in there.
That .25 packs a punch. 👊
Niceeeeeee !!
Thanks, man.
Kevin, Wow, nice buys! That big Theoben I shot years ago at Standing Stone. It too was in .25 caliber. Unheard of knockdown power. 30 plus foot pounds. The stocks on both the Longbow and the 50S are just gorgeous! ScottinPa.
Thanks Scott. I'm very pleased with each purchase. Thanks as always for watching, my friend.
@razor1962 Kevin, When the Theoben came out Beeman coined it the "Crow Magnum". It was and still is for a break barrell untouchable! ScottinPa.
❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍
The longbow was an absolute superb rifle made to suit the uk 12ftlbs limits, it was much nicer to shoot over the tomahawk which I have. The theoben is a beast of an airgun but after half an hour your arm really knows its had a work out.
Thanks, Robert. I think that the Longbow is my favorite of the three. The Eliminator is a curiosity for me. I'm certain that I'll enjoy sending those heavy pellets down range.
Thanks as always, my friend.
Hi Kevin,
I definitely think you've come up trumps there. I bet you feel like a dog with two tails, lol.
I hope I'm not insulting your intelligence, I have some information you and your readers may find interesting.
Weihrauch Air Rifles have a gas ram air rifle in their line up, its the HW90. When Weihrauch first launched their HW90, Theoben Air Rifles from Cambridge in England manufactured the gas ram unit for them.
Theoben consisted of two gentlemen, David Theobald and Ben Taylor, Consequently, making Theo Ben.
Ben Taylor was working on his motorcycle Suzuki forks, and that's where the idea for gas ram air rifles came from. The gas ram units work on the same principle as motorcycle forks.
I think it was the year 2004 when Theoben ceased to exist. Theoben made fantastic air rifles, and it was with the help from those two gentlemen, we have what we know as pcp air rifles today, with their buddy bottles and pellet magazines.
The Theoben Rapid pcp air rifle was another fantastic invention and led the way to what we have and enjoy today. They were in 12ftlb format and FAC, too.
Theoben were formed in 1982. They manufactured spring, gas ram, and pcp air rifles, the quality of which was to die for. If I had been older, I'd have owned some of those genius air rifles. As you'll know, Kevin, the blueing, engineering machining tolerances, ideas, workmanship/craftsmanship know how, was off the scale. Just fabulous air rifles.
I think the two gentlemen at the time took on an apprentice, who worked his way up through the business and eventually purchasing it and took it to America where they became RAW, Rapid Air Weapons. I think they are continuing to manufacture the Theoben Rapid in an up to date format.
I remember as a youngster, seeing my dad's Airgun World magazine. Before he came home from work, I had a window of time where I could quickly look at it, then put it back exactly as I found it. I'd have dearly loved one of those gorgeous air rifles, though I knew I didn't have a hope in hell.
I so wish Theoben were around today. What they manufactured was genius and so proud they were British when Britain was Great x.
Thank you, Kevin.
Goodbye for now, my friend.
Awesome history lesson. Lots of good info. Thanks so much, Ian.
@razor1962
Hi Kevin,
Hey, thank you. I wasn't sure if you'd know and thought some of your viewers maybe interested too.
Theoben were gorgeous, well-made bank vault type air rifles, whether they were spring piston, gas ram, or pcp.
I've viewed their latest Rapid air rifle which looks fantastic.
People moan about their cost, however, they cost most more to produce. Manufacturers don't give quality away.
Best wishes, Kevin, Ian.
Hi Kevin,
I forgot to mention. There is another small, British air rifle manufacturer who make fantastic pcp air rifles. They are called Ripley Air Rifles. Anyone interested, check them out. You definitely will not be disappointed.
I never thought about if there were any airgun shows to attend. Yet another thing to research out. Baldwinsville, NY is a bit far off, but maybe there’s a local, to me, show out there I can attend one day. It would be fun to hunt out a find like you have done.
I saw in one of your videos that you buy some rifles second hand and I was wondering how you accomplished that. Great timing on this upload! 👍👍
Thanks to you and a few others I ordered my first “nice” airgun, a Weihrauch HW30S, this past week. Unfortunately the company I got it from doesn’t seem to have it together, so I’ll have to wait another week to get it. Going through your vids is helping me out.
I didn’t think I’d like a stainless steel finish on a Weihrauch, but I think I really do. What a great little pickup. I hope to see it featured soon.
I hope your shoulder makes a quick recovery and it’s not too serious. I’m not sure the bell is going to recover though. That .25 made the bell ring the loudest I’ve heard so far. 😂
Hello my friend. You couldn't have chosen a nicer rifle. You're going to love your 30s.
There are several airgun forums on the internet. Most, if not all of them, have a classified section where members can buy and sell.
So glad to see that you're enjoying the channel. Thanks so much for watching.
@@razor1962I received it last night, and you’re absolutely right. I love it! I put about 150 pellets through it today.
When I first picked it up, I could just feel that the build quality is above and beyond. I feel like I’m shooting with a piece of art that’s also a well oiled machine.
I can’t even imagine how amazing the rifles in your collection are now!!!
@@OceanTruth Congratulations!!! You've got the bug now, my friend.
How many weapons do you have in your collection? Raul from Estonia
Hi Raul. I buy and sell often, so the number is always changing. Thanks for watching, my friend.
Nice group, The Eliminator with it's Shed -you- ah stock [not correct spelling] This timber only used for a short time, Rumor has it that as a rare hardwood it's export was banned. Eliminators to be found in most gun auctions in the UK average value approx £110 pounds, due to the FAC requirement. The rather lovely Longbow you have acquired is very non standard it has all the appearance of a Venom unit. In an auction here value approx £450. As for the 50 well tuned HW 50's are tuned HW 50's always solid bits of kit. In UK expect to pay approx £350 plus commission for a custom model like this. How does this compare with prices you paid???
Hyedua... 😉👍
@@marcmyers1465 Cheers Marc I did know was just having a little fun with someone here in the UK.
Thanks David. The hyedua stocks were pretty special. As far as pricing is concerned, let's just say that I would've preferred to buy them in the UK. 🤣🤣🤣
Your knowledge of these guns is extensive. Thanks so much for watching.
@@davidprocter3578😂
@@davidprocter3578I suspect it was named by the Welsh ? 😏
G'eeeOD I'm glad you got that audio editing sorted out ! 😵😅
It's a software glitch. It happens with no rhyme or reason...
When was the show? Sad you didn’t contact me, I live about 25 minutes from baldwinsville.
Sorry Nibs. I had no idea. The show was last Saturday and Friday. They do it every year. I'm surprised you weren't aware. I'll try to remind you next year. Would've loved to have met you in person.
I knew of the show but I thought it was later in the summer. It would have been great to have a cup of coffee with you! Maybe next time!
@@WalnutandSteel I'll look forward to it.
How much?
That's like asking a lady her age, my friend...
Thanks for watching.
its insite nothing als mdf wood becose i havbe in the 3 mo,nds 1 and the scroew komming onley losxe wit wood on
I'm sorry, Koenraad. I'm having trouble understanding you. If you have a wood screw that's stripped, you can try inserting a small piece of wood into the hole (something like a toothpick), then run the screw in. It will usually solve the problem.
Hold on to the theoben m8 got rid of my Rapid 7 mk1 and wish I keep it I'm a PCP man but that gasram is really nice to shoot .❤❤❤ love Theoben rifle's
Don't worry Dan. The Theoben isn't going anywhere. 😊
Great choice of rifles, beautiful
On the piston rifle is it as violent as a springer is to shoot? Heard pros and cons, just wondering. Looking forward to more vids on these 3, thanks
Not much recoil and a very quick action. It's a pleasure to shoot. Thanks for watching, my friend.
