    Nice review, got one for Christmas in 1977 aged 11. It’s still immaculate even though it’s had tens of thousands of pellets through it. Came in a cardboard display box with a Webley telescopic sight, the mount and standard sight. Plus a poster of classic Webley pistols, which has been unfolded and folded many times. So many happy memories of shooting it with my dad and grandfather.

    This is incredible! It's like you've invented time travel, gone back to the 70's, bought a copy of Airgun World, flicked to the adverts and sent off your postal order! What an exceptional find! Well done sir for a fabulous review and a wonderful trip back to better days!

    Thankyou for taking the trouble to make your video it was very useful . I have just been given a 177 in used condition and the safety does not work but as you say it’s a very nice gun.
    P.S don’t tell my dad ! ( just been told it’s ok as I’m 76 ) ! Well done !

    I have a .177 Hurricane that I bought sometime in the 90’s, I still have the original shipping box and everything it came with, but it never had a pellet trap that I see others have.I used to take it with me when I was camping, great entertainment shooting empty beer cans, I used to turn them on there side, and aim for the hole in the top. Although I’m left handed, I usually shot right, but it is possible to shoot left, and since I’ve lost a great deal of vision in my right eye, it’ll either be left or nothing.

    Thats a really nice example. I remember the paint always came off the side with heavy use. I always wanted one when i was a kid. I had a Harrington Gat which you had to charge by pushing the barrel in and unscrewing a pin and loading from the back, but i loved it. Used to shoot below and left but i allowed for that and was actually pretty accurate with it up to 15ft ha ha and a bit further when i fired darts. I had 2 of them. One of them i inheritied from my uncle which was twice the power of my original one for some reason and was much harder to push down and load. I later aquired a. Original Mod 5 .22 which was much more powerful. I remember i had a butterfly knife(ballysong) that i traded for it, from a lad at school in early 90,s. It was a nice knife, but not as nice as an Original mod 5 pistol. He probably wanted to get rid of it for some mischievous reason which worked well as i wanted to get rid of the butterfly knife as i learned they were not legal over here and was given to me by a friend who bought it on a school holiday in france. All the best from lancashire.

      @airriflesuk5997  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you.
      Yes my first one no longer had paint after about 2 months of constant use.
      Still shot like a boss tho lol.
      I also had a old beat up snap barrel that looked like a old war time replica...
      Shot so low and to the side but i often connected with my targets.
      Yes sadly things like that a no longer legal in the uk.

    I have a hurricane - purchased it in Pasadena, CA around 1980, so it’s now over 40 years old. I still have the black cardboard box it came with and a the optional rosewood grips (aftermarket ?). I shoot it once in a while. I think I paid almost 100 US for it back then, so it wasn’t cheap.

    Great gun though and my dad has well looked after it and I am on pain of death to keep it well oiled and in good nick.

    I have had this one in .177 for over 30 years now. I kept it in a similar plastic case with foam like yours, for over 20 years without opening. When I recently opened the plastic case, the foam was completely dried out and disintegrated. But whatever chemical was in the foam (probably oil based), had eaten the surface of the gun. The pattern of the foam is etched into the gun now... Really weird.

    Thanks for the review, its the best one I have seen. I have just bought one from my local gun shop. It didn't have any of the accessories that yours had and its .22 caliber. I probably paid over the odds for it but I totally agree with you the pistol oozes quality. Mine is an early model i.e. made between 1975 and 1990, it still packs a punch though. I have cleaned and lubricated it using silicon based oil (much better than mineral oil) which has really improved the efficiency of the piston seal giving it more power. The shop said it didn't have a serial number but I found it under the hand grip. Has yours got one there by any chance? Cheers

      Thankfully ive had a few years practise shooting a springer pistol these days, so i kinda know what im doing..
      Plus this hurricane could do with a service as its under powered at the mo as it spent its life so far in a box...
      But yea im the same, i used to own loads of co2 pistols but i sold them all a few months back as they bored me.
      There was no challenge in shooting them after (for want of a better word) mastering my new hw45...

      Ask about at gun ranges, gun shops etc etc.
      There are FaceBook groups you can join that direct you to other apps that permit the sales of air guns as unfortunately the likes of free ads or gum tree are long gone.

      If you dont have any pellets or indeed a safe place to discharge the pistol (as its never wise to "dry fire" the gun) then obviously dont try, but have you actually cocked the gun and then tried the safety ?

    This thing is mental. An Asian dude gave one to me in the mid 90's when I was 15. One day while in the classroom on lunch, my mate wanted the gun. I didn't know why but it turned out he wanted to shoot between this guys legs but the guy moved and the pellet hit his leg. It was nasty, the pellet pierced his skin. Everyone started laughing and the guy went ape. He marched my mate to the toilet to shoot him back and so we all went to the toilet. When we got there, he pointed it at my mates head. In a panic, I shouted 'NO' as I knew the power of the bloody thing and my mate bent over with his hands over his head to protect himself. He got shot in the ass and had a big dirty purple bruise for weeks. Weeks later I got arrested on the street with the gun and that was the end of that
