I'm a new member (Brentwood - Essex) with an old gun - Theoben - TTR2 in 0.22 calibre.
Retired lecturer in technology & engineering - I'm looking forward to some "me" time with the beastie!

Cheers Guys,

Ad the handle says - a TTR2. They do seem rare!
Mine is currently spread across the bench with various parts soaking in methanol for a deep clean.
As soon as I can find time. I;; put it back together and see how it performs. It used to be spot-on

The engineering can be a curse sometimes... I find myself fiddling with the moderator, regulator and valves etc.

I like to read KevG's advice and comments.
