Feeling pretty fortunate to have just received this extremely nice AA Pro Elite. This one is special as it's in .177 which from all I've read was made in very small numbers and difficult to find in the US. It's been gone through with a new piston seal etc, so should be good for many years to come. Serial number is 15xxx. If anyone can provide an estimated date of manufacture it would be appreciated. Not sure if original but this one has a gold trigger. Anyone know if some came that way or if it's been replaced?

Send an email to Air Arms with the complete serial number. They can tell you the date of manufacture and some other details about the origin of that particular gun.

Hi Yogi,
It came from the Midwest Usa, Out of a gun shop who took it in on trade from a collector. Needed a new piston seal but assume the seal just degraded over time. Gun is in excellent shape so it doesn't look like it was shot much.
I bought a .22 Pro Elite from another collector couple years ago but to get one in .177 is a find. I understand they only produced about 1500 pro elites in total and about 1100ish were in .22. Certainly heirloom quality rifles. Here's a picture of the pair.

Nick,
Drewl worthy. Pure airgun porn!
Have you checked the compression tube roundness? It will be the last Air Arms break-barrel that they ever make.

PS I hope they are not to nice to shoot?

I know the .22 is smooth and accurate. I'll let you know about the .177. I'm sure it will be just as nice.
