Still around, not much to talk about these days with this lockdown.

About to start another project with one of my walnut Tyro stocks, already stripped and prepared it.

Going to add ebony for end tip's ( one each side being a break barrel ) and ebony pistol cap.

Should take me till the end of the year I guess.

Finish will be HIGH gloss to bring out the grain, all my others are London oil but this time I want Bling like Snoop Dogg's gold chains for a change.

Will add the odd pic.

Yes mate, under the Xmas tree in 1978 as I recall. Refinished and a new valve and pump cup and still slaying the vermin and the tin cans and introducing new shooters.

The Sheridan is a 1981 model.

FWB 127 with Maccari internals.

Diana 350 Magnum Superior .22 also with Jim Maccari internals.

Nice selection there,

I have a 761 XL as well in the collection, what I like about the pump guns is that you can get some trigger time indoors with only a few pumps, very versatile to use and not have to drive hours away to plink around a bit.

Yeah I've always liked pumpers too.
