I think this is my oldest break barrel; but unfortunately, I don't know with any certainty the date of manufacture, or even the maker. There is a partial serial number/assembly number stamped on the trigger and trigger housing; but other than that, the only marking is a small "AS" stamped on...
Mine had three pair of spacers, each pair a different thickness, but they're all aluminum. I say had, because I've not seen the other two sets in a while :unsure:
Thanks, Mike. Yeah, 75U is what Northwoods22 called his up in post #24. The spacers for my cheek riser are apparently not original. They don't match the ones in any of the other photos in this thread, or the catalog photos.
All of mine are in that category. When you hear of my demise, you should make it a point to drive by the house. There's gonna be a lot of good stuff put out by the curb.
I don't know. Looking at my two (post #11) the tyro is not sleeved, but the other one is. The difference in weight is immediately noticeable when you pick it up; but I've never weighed them and never have tried to remove the sleeve.
