There are days when the stars unexpectedly align 😃. Yesterday was one of those days at the range....

Started off as normal - chat, banter and the odd pellet downrange - then a regular shooter turned up and said "I've got a gun for sale".......now I'm actually in the sell mode so wasn't expecting much.....it's a TM1000 he says.....now I already have one and actually contemplating it's future in the cabinet....it's a lefty. My ears prick up and ask the normal question - lefty in a right handed stock? Oh no this is a full lefty he says ....holy crap says I, let's have a look......

Sure enough, number 55 off the production line....silver block, original shroud and cylinder and a full lefty block and stock.

The only bummer is I couldn't really shoot it as there is a mod only rule at the range at the moment....so some sort of silencing system is being worked on. In the meantime I have put a FX smooth twist barrel on there - mainly because it's silver 😃. It holds air, cocks lovely and trigger is ok (snuck a couple of shots).

You don't see these very often - I now need to decide whether the blue custom stock I already have or the original to go with it 😃😃

Hi Tim that's a nice looking gun mate , hope it shoots as good as it looks.im a lefty but I prefer a left handed stock but right handed cocking . ATB jazz 😁

yeah, that's what I have been shooting too as I find it works well off the bench, got it in a mark Sanderson stock, which I find excellent.
