Title: Two vintage German Daystate FT rifles.

Mods, move this if it needs to be, actions are English and the stocks are German so I went general.

So, here are my two vintage custom field target guns from the Beeman boys back years ago.

The green I have had a few years and posted pictures before. It is a Huntsman MKII in a P70 FWB stock. Set for 12 ftlbs with a 2,000 psi fill, no reg. Stock is full of lead and comes in around 16 pounds.

The yellow I just picked up today from a club member. It is a Beeman Mako (LR90) with a P70 FWB stock. Joe Korick regulator worked over by Mike Abernathy. Shooting around 17ftlbs.

Not like I needed another old FT gun but the green one was lonely without its brother. These old guns are amazing, the blueing is so dark it’s unreal. It makes some of the modern guns look like they are painted flat black.

Those are two beautiful, elegant PCPs. They ooze quality... I bet they shoot as good as they look.

Finally got a chance to shot some quick groups after work. Looks like the old dog can still hunt.

Both groups are ten shots at 30 yards.
