Shooting the Slavia 618

[Septicdeath]

The Slavia 618 is a classic and was made for many years. Many where imported to the US in the late 60's to the.
70's. They are not particularly rare but collectible. They are well-made, sturdy, and great shooters. Try to find a junior-sized air rifles of this quality these days, unfortunately they don't exist. I believe the 618 had to have been made in the 1950s to the 1970' not a bunch of information out there on the 618. This one is a newer model with a post sight.

They was made at Ceska zbrojovka armory in Brno. Czech Republic that was formerly Czechoslovakia.

ANY Slavia-brand air gun is nice to have these days. Built like a brick outhouse, they were the airgun of choice in British fairground target-shooting ranges for as long as I remember.

I don't have one, but I would like to!

By way of consolation, here's my 1960-built Walther LG55 - all original, and sold by WaffenSchmidt Spandau-Berlin to my then-gun club - BSN Heros - the oldest such club in Greater Berlin.
