Wow, nice work Bill, that's very impressiveGood morning Guardians. Looks like we are in the middle of winter here in southern NC. Just getting to 40 deg F today but it's sunny. Been working on finishing my Venom HW77 Verminter. Vintage airgun. Metal work made in Germany and then modded by the legendary Venom Arms Company back in 1986. Finally got it done. Refinished the stock in Napiers London Oil and rebuilt the seals, new spring and polished the internals.View attachment 2465284View attachment 2465285View attachment 2465294View attachment 2465297


In Sheffield, back in the mid 19th century, two hitmen, working for the powerful Saw Grinders Union, Sam Crookes and Jem Hallam, famously (and fatally) shot a 'Blackleg, a sweater of boys, and an enemy of the union', James Lindlay, with an air rifle, in The Old Crown Hotel, on Scotland Street. The pub still stands, but neither the current owners, nor one Sheffielder in 10,000 knows anything about this piece of history

A fine choice my friend


Me too mateI know people who have made a career out of it.![]()
