This is my fathers Hahn 45, which I just found out was made by Crosman. The gun has a great feel to it and so much fun to shoot.
-
The only one I have that slide's under the date, my "79" Silver Streak that I found in un-fired condition from of all place's Berkeley U.
-
You must have read my mind Thud, lol. I was thinking about starting an oldies but goodies thread myself. The Hahn is beautiful- I've never seen one before. :)
-
Okay, here's mine :) :
Benjamin 312, year of manufacture 1963
Winchester model 435 manufactured in 1978
Marksman model from the mid-70's
Diana 50, probably made in the early 60's (based on an educated opinion from someone else)

They all shoot really well.

Here's my 1949 Crosman 100, .177. A real tack driver.
'74 Sheridan .20 I bought brand new in '74, Cost? $50.00.
-
I have 3 that are Vintage.
Schimel Gp22
Crosman 600
Crosman 38-C
The Schimel is in need of repair.
The 600 shoots but is prone to getting jammed.
The 38-C shoots all day long.
All 3 are CO2 and .22 cal.

My Crosman 180 I bought about 1964 that sill holds CO2 (I have a Marksman Repeater pistol that I don't have a picture of right now that's from '62 or so) (http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb138/dk1677/100_2113.jpg)

I am really liking this new 'Gate!'

Ah, the Crosman 180 brings back happy memories! It was my first gun, bought for me by my dad when I was about 8 years old in 1956 or 1957, I think. We lived in a large ranch house with a full basement where he set-up an excellent range for year-round shooting. I don't know that I have ever enjoyed another gun more than that one.
-
Here is a 50-60's Slavia ZVP, in very good condition I found at a pawn shop recently.
maybe for sale soon
-
Nice to see some beautiful older airguns here!
Here's my 1967 HW35. Lovely shooter. Picked it up (with the old case in the first pics) for a song.

Agreed :)
My first airgun, too. My dad bought it for me for Christmas, 1983-ish.
I still have it and shoot it, but it is begging for refinishing...
-
Crosman 116 manufactured between 1951-54, I think....
Bulk fill co2, .22 cal, shoots strong and feels great in the hand, accurate too!
Just did a reseal and re-patina, acquired in a trade and the bulk fill head had the usual plier teeth marks as did the power adjuster.
A little lathe work and some chemical help and it looks vintage again.
The original plastic grips shrink over time and these were so tight that once I wrestled them off they would not go back.
Lots of dremel and file work on the inside and they now fit like new.
-
"dang", now this is interesting. I bet there are some people here with some right unusual things...
Here's my haenel... I'm not sure anything else i have qualifies for 'vintage' but my 880...
-
WOW! When did this gate open??? Too many gates, too easy to get lost! ;D
Here are my vintage pumpers:
Crosman 102 .22 caliber 20 shot repeater - late 40's
Crosman Powermaster 66 - original version with metal receiver from 1988
Sheridan Blue Streak - Crew Cut Rocker Safety from 1965
Crosman 1377 - phase one from 1978 with old 150 style grip frame

Andy, I think this one even more than the Turkish gate (of which I am personally fond) lends a bunch to the "interest" of the hobby. One thing I do NOT know much about is vintage stuff beyond what I had as a kid. Airguns have been around for a long time, and I think there is a lot in this gate for many people to learn from and share.

OK, I found another one of my fathers old air guns..but this one I have no idea what it is. I know it is a BB gun and you have to slide the barrel to cock it (like an semi auto .45)..but other than that I have no idea. I think it might even use a slightly smaller BB. I do know that he and his brother repainted it at some time though.
-
Looks like a Daisy 118 Targeteer to me.

Thanks Cole. I was able to find more information now that I know what it is. https://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2005/05/the-bb-pistol-that-didnt-shoot-bbs/ (https://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2005/05/the-bb-pistol-that-didnt-shoot-bbs/)

Here's my only old airgun; a 1977 or earlier (Depends how long the shop had it) .177 Gamo Expotec which have a tubular magazine on top of the receiver. The mag can hold up to 20 pellets, unfortunately only short pellets can be used with the magazine, as there's a metal block ahead of the breech to accept the pellet....and that block is thin.
The barrel is slightly opened so the metal block can rise up in the first photo.
Just added another pic of the tubular magazine.
-
Wow- cool. I had no idea they were making Gamos back then.
-
A friend of mine had one of those and it was a great air rifle. I remember it being very accurate and being able to load and fire 20 pellets at a time was a great option. You would be surprised how quick you can load and fire a break barrel. If I remember correctly, the trigger is not all that great on this one, but it always seemed to hit the target! We could never figure out how to mount a scope and still use the tube magazine on that rifle. Thanks for posting, I sure would like to get a hold of one of those some day…
-
Thanks guys. When they first came out they had a special scope mount for it; it's a bit like a see through mount so the tube magazine can be slipped under the mount. Back then we were poor and cheap.....so my friend and I never bought it (He also bought the same air rifle except with a plastic pistol grip stock). Also we never thought about using a scope which would have costed us more money.

Heres a few of mine

Heres a few of mine
Some gorgeous guns ! Was the stock in picture #2 factory made ?
Dave
-
That stock and grips were made by RB Grips. I dont think he makes the stocks any more for the Cr 600, all he makes are inserts for the 1399 plastic stocks.
Here is a Cr2289G, no longer made in/for the US with one of his stocks and super pumper forearm.
-
Well, y'all showed me yours so I guess I should show you mine (a couple, at least) -
Late 1920's Haenel III

yeah I'm bummed. I wrote RB and he said no more of those stocks. :(
Then I found a guy on the yellow board who had one and paid waaay too much for it :) problem is I need a matching forearm for it now.
Dave
-
Cant you still get the super pumper arm from RB, its still shown on his web site? The stock you did buy, it was walnut or some other wood?
He should be able to make the forearm for you to match that stock, unless its a wood no longer available. It would be worth a email to him.
I dont know what you paid for a used one, but that 600 stock cost about 85 bucks, and that was a few years ago. IIRC he charged about that price for the 2240 in walnut and for the 2250 he had a matching forearm which was around 115. he also had one for the 2260 with forearm, dont remember what he charged for that one.
I don't know why he stopped making them. He just did!
-
I did write him and he said no forearms. The walnut one I bought cost many times that and did not come with the forearm.
-
WOW, guess you caught him on a bad hair day LOL.
What gun you need it for?
his web site shows forearms for the Prod, 1700p , 2250 and the super pumper for the 1377. maybe he ust not making JUST the forearm , other than for the 1377, I would question him again.
if he shows it on his web site , seems like he would sell ya one.
-
For 2240. Maybe he was in a bad mood. Who knows..
-
WEll Pilgram ,there ya go, LOL
I dont ever recall him making a forearm for a 2240. not enough room on the tube.
now if you put a 2250 tube on your 2240 you could get the forearm.
or you could get a 2250 forearm and cut it down and rework it to fit the short 2240 tube.
-

Sorry I should have mentioned I have a coltrane tube on mine. Should be plenty of room.
Dave

here are some measurement for a 2250 fore arm. if it works you need the screws and barrel band for a 2250 and the screw adaptor at the front trigger housing
parts # can be gotten from the 2250B on the crosman site.
but I got them for ya. 2250-018 (1), 130b031 (1), 2250-071 (1), 88-089 (1), 151-016 (2)
but do look at the schematic for a 2250.
pics with measurements.
Hope this helps, if you have enough room on that tube, try one more time for a 2250 forearm, maybe the third time is the charm LOL

Here are a couple of Walther LGR's vintage early to mid 1980's. The left hander is an LGR-U (for universal). Very accurate single stroke pneumatic 10-meter air rifles.

I found this site while looking for a source for a new seal. I think I found one near by. Went to shoot a pesky rat in the kitchen yesterday and could not get enough pressure. I took it apart and found a rubber plunger that is probably worn. At any rate it is great to share with other enthusiasts. Any idea how many FPS this thing is capable of ? Enough for a close range vermin kill?
-
here are pics of my vintage shooters...
first is sheridan C-9 think it is a 1978 thats been restocked
second is my 1978 1322, modded with steel breech, Flattop piston and ported valve, poly tube transfer port and 14 in barrel

Here's my only rifle older than made in 1980. Its a Feinwerkbau 124 Deluxe in .177 cal. Its the deluxe version since it has checkering on the pistol grip, a raised cheek piece, grip cap with white spacer, butt pad, as well as mounted swivels for a sling. It is marked "San Anselmo" and was imported by Beeman to their first place of business in San Anselmo probably around 1972-74, when they still operated out of their home. A few years later they moved the business a short distance away to San Rafael, CA. That makes this gun one of the first they imported and one of the earlier ones of this model.
Its not totally original anymore. The stock was personalized with a carving of "Cobra" by the first owner in the 1970s. That was his Field-Target nickname. Of course, after the carving, the stock was resealed and the color was stripped away. Its much lighter than the original light chocolate-brown stock. This spring gun was the fps king hitting around 800 fps back in the 70s and held that title until the R1 came along and had a velocity over 900 and later broke the 1000fps barrier. But, the R1 has well over twice the cocking effort of the FWB, which is probably around 20lbs. Its very easy and fun to plink with all day and still has plenty of power. Shooting this gun has been good medicine for curing my "magnumitis", since it handles and shoots so easily compared to the more powerful guns.
Enjoy the pics! ;D Its the gun on top by the way. The gun below is a non-deluxe stock San Rafael model for comparison.
