with a gat push in pistol which i found in my grandads shed alongside his webly service revolver, he only let me keep the gat though. then it was a summer using a friends relum .177 (i cant remember the model but it was small!)then i talked my grandma into buying me a .22 meteor ,upgraded to a .22 airsporter and then discovered german springers!!!!!. i had a hw35 that i shot day in day out for 3 years- went through 2 leather seals (uneducated lubing on my part with wd40 and 3 in 1) 4 springs, and 2 reblues.next was a fwb124, then a 127.when i moved to the usa my first airgun was a sheridan co2 rifle (from a pawn shop), then a R1 as soon as they were released then a diana 48 and from there i have lost count.i have lost my collections in the past through either emmigrating or divorce (2). i now have most guns i covveted as a youngster and then some. to this day i have never owned a pcp and have not got the urge either (thank god! that could bankrupt me). at this juncture i have reverted to shooting older guns with irons at 25 yds as that is as far as my backyard range is.i still love custom tuned guns as it is truly a treat to own,shoot and admire the work that goes into them and i will continue to collect them for when i retire.
