ferreteer92 2 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hi guys can anyone point me in the direction of a site to get a cheap first airgun? Cheers conner Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Try looking in the for sale section on this site (general topics off the main menu), guntrade.com, gunstar.co.uk, airgunbbs, airgun forum, pigeonwatch, all have for sale sections, some good bargains have been picked up off birds of prey/falconers sites.... Just one thing, I notice you are after a lot of stuff for free or cheap, this is not the time to go asking for stuff like that, times are hard so be prepared to dip your hand in your pocket or you will wind up with something like a B2 that is seized solid (aka a cricket bat)...

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) In that case tap the name of the gun you are looking for in google, then set to pages from the UK, then set to past week or past month from the options on the left. Look in forums that do not have anything to do with airgunning, falconry forums (why the hell they shoot the damned rabbits instead of letting their expensive budgies catch the things for themselves I dont know), fishing forums. We picked up a BSA Super Ten that was a limited edition, with scope, pump and bag, demonstrated as working, for only £300!!!! That was on a falconry forum. The pump was better than the one we bought so we kept that and sold the pump we had for £, then my wife decided she did not like the gun (she prefers wood stocks, not dipped stocks) and sold it for £500!

ferreteer92 2 Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Is there any particular type of gun youd recomend for a first gun? Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Spring powered for a start or a gas ram. PCP involves buying charging equipment. Springs (break barrels or underlevers) rely on your arm power! Something by HW or Air Arms is a good point to start, all depends on your budget. You can pick up some tasty break barrels for not a lot. Edited June 23, 2011 by secretagentmole Quote Link to post
