Title: Spanish made Beeman
Post by: Paul68 on May 11, 2012, 02:07:32 PM
Came across a small sized Beeman which has Made in Spain stamped on the receiver. The number above the serial # is something like C4-2. Any ideas what it is? Considering making the guy an offer.

That's a hard one and I'm not really sure... It's hard to tell exactly what it is without a pic or model number...

So it's a smaller Spanish Beeman, you said? I've seen people buy them for $25 - $40, depending  on the condition... The small ones are usually a direct sear gun...

Not sure how "High End" Beeman went on the Noricas but I'm sure if the gun was bigger with a 2 stage adjustable trigger, It would be worth more...

It's a small light gun, the trigger is similar to a B2's. Cocking force is maybe 20 lbs. It has what looks like a screw on barrel tip.

There were also lower powered Spanish Beemans that were similar to the ones sold in the US Market but sold in Canada, with less power and different model numbers..

I believe it is this one you posted..

The stock and the trigger assembly looks correct. The one I am looking at doesn't have the front site though. Just a machined peice that looks as though it is screwed on. I'll be getting pics.

 Had a Marksman 0035 given to me by an acquaintance a few years ago with frt. sight MIA. Finally found a sight that would work so broke it down and tuned it. Hone, polish, right lubes, new seal and kept original spring. I can normally do a pretty good job on simple triggers but this one defied me. Oh it was better---just not as good as I expect. Running it across the chrony afterward was underwhelming as well---under 550fps. Guess I shoulda put a new spring in it.

Accuracy? Fully as underwhelming as the power. >:(

 Wound up giving it to my neighbors teen-agers which is what I tend to do with inexpensive rifles I revive. Helps keep new generations of shooters coming along. ;)

Yeah, after a little looking up, I'll give this one a pass. It need refinishing as well as a tuneup, and it don't seem nearly worth it. Thanks for the great help guys.

"I have a Marksman 0035- nice little gun."

Nice indeed----mine just wasn't accurate---even after the tune.
By contrast the Daisy/Gamo 131 recently given to me is very similar but it tuned up just as sweetly and is a stone tackdriver!

How old is the rifle? It may be a Beeman Flacon 1
