Well, folks, it's finally here. This is an e-magazine in PDF format, produced with contributions from some of the best known names in vintage airgun writing, our BBS Collectables regulars, plus some very knowledgeable north Americans who kindly agreed to donate their expertise.
I chose to call it Airgun Collector rather than include the word "vintage" so as to reflect the fact that it covers some relatively modern classic airguns too.
The spirit behind this mag is that it's free to anyone interested in reading about older airguns. All the contributors signed up to giving their time, photos, and expertise for nothing, so thanks should go to them for their generosity.
I am not committing to co-ordinating another issue at this point, but if the appetite to supply interesting new material is out there, I will certainly consider it. I've enjoyed bringing it together and it's been a privilege to work with all the contributors.
If you enjoy reading it, please pass it on, perhaps by emailing it to someone who wants a copy and is having difficulty downloading one, or by adding another file sharing site to the following ones (I know almost nothing about file sharing), hence keeping it available to the widest possible audience for as long as there is a demand. Please post information about it on as many airgun forums as you think may have people interested in reading it.
