They sure don't make pcps like they used to!

Thanks for sharing!

BTW: what fps does it shoot?

Albeit I don't have any quite that old... all my oldies are my favorite to shoot. The new ones get all the attention at first but, at the end of the day I grab the oldies.

This one is not marked by the maker, so I'm unsure of who actually would have built it, but it looks a lot like a Pritchard that Rock Island sold.

The gun shoots just over 600FPS with a starting pressure of 500PSI.

The accuracy is much better then I would have expected too! It's very consistent.

My Sheridan Model A & B’s are always a joy to shoot.

Awesome...Nice to see these old rifles in working order and being shot, rather than collecting dust on display.

D.Strever
The Gifford looks solid as a tank.
Thanks for posting

By the way... Having a air rifle shooting range in the Redwood forest would be incredible.

Beautiful rifle!

That is a most beautiful Gifford. What kind of adapter are you talking about? Do you tether it to a tank?

So cool....

Amazing rifles guys!

the Gifford is a C02 rifle
and i have an adapter made to fit the old C02 tube for filling from a modern bottle
the gun in this image is from the internet

Love to have guns of this class! Engraving on the Giffords sure speaks of a different time. Such quality. Just feel like you have to be a serious gunsmith or mechanic to keep these going? Feel a bit out of my league?
