Saw this on a blog from the Toys that Shoot Show. Looks like a Crosman 102 action graphed onto a pistol.
Not sure what powers it either. Any info? Dave
-
Woah, what is that?
-
zooming the image i can read
MFG BY
what looks to be a CROSMAN Arms CO
then looks like ROC (could be rochester ?)
-
I don't know, but it's good to see ya.
I haven't seen you around in a while and wondered where you went.
-
That looks like a 1924 or later 102 Repeater turned into a pistol.
wonder how it was pumped up?

Could they have made it CO2?
-
I asked around & a fella at the show at Findlay said it's a Crosman prototype.
Looks like a CO2 102 repeater pistol from where I’m sitting.
Maybe missing a magazine tube.
-
I wondered about the CO2 seeing that section of the grip on the back.
Looks as if it could be a way to open something.
-
In the Philippines there are 'smiths that do all sorts of cruel things to old Crosmans,;-)It will be CO2 now.

That's a truly unique pistol. I took a close look at it with Wes when he first acquired it. It's clearly a 102 repeater box, 'grafted' as someone above described it, onto a cast pot-metal pistol frame with some brass portions inserted. Looks like it should be a prototype except there's no way to charge it. Taking the grips off shows no CO2 chamber there, and a trigger bar in the path of any possible probe going up into the body tube. No opening in the tube front either. We thought it could be an unfinished home-built, or (maybe more likely) a Crosman 'concept prototype' of a repeating competitor to the Challenger Plainsman single-shot. Such a gun wouldn't have to function in order to be shown to the bosses in a marketing meeting. Mighty cool whatever it is.

Functioning is always a plus for me! Lol

Hey Don,
Thanks for the insight.
I wonder if there’s a valve in it.

It may have been a mock up for the first Shot Show, it should be out this summer , I'm pre ordering ;)
