He also made an 8 shot repeater which had a fixed magazine and one with a buddy bottle. Here is the advert https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2F18w%2F6287926305&psig=AOvVaw2WE3Ts6v4ITqNAQKT-RpYa&ust=1599664854933000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCNjfxI3u2esCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAE When I googled the name I came across a thread on another forum that mentioned an 8 shot adapter, octopus something I think it said. Money no object I would definitely have one. 6 minutes ago, Mice! said: Never heard of that one, looks like an early Leishy I stopped buying air gun mags years ago but that stuck in my mind, maybe because it looked so different.

theshootist Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 They are fairly simple in operation but interesting designs. I have an M100 in .20 too which is very nice. I'm always on the look out for a CO2 powered Starfire, but they always come up at unrealistic money for me. I like them for the same reasons I like the Skan air rifles, they are quirky and push the design envelope. From a time when the UK was coming out with new ideas in air guns.

I wonder if anyone kept one of these on FAC? Must be rare as a rare thing now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
