N/A Crooked Barn Pistol

Beautiful pistol those were the cats meow back in the day so much fun to shoot!

Those guys had a sense of style.

Spent many hours back then looking at all the Crocker Barn stuff. Had several pairs of RB grips. Sadly sold all that stuff off some time ago.

Had this CB co2 pistol out today in the backyard.

I would post pistol / rifles like this on GTA with zero response. All the members would only comment on their pinty rifles and daisy model 25s.

CB with RB grips blast from the past...if u were here back in 2005ish.

When airgunning was fun...sorry.

Got one that .35 .36 or .38 from gunbroker. Never fired it.

Used more of his parts than entire airguns. Did get the little misses a .380 shot pistol for Christmas one year. Test fired it in the garage, big mistake, thank goodness for eye protection. Fired the round balls well also!
.380

Pretty sure only the breech on this one was Crocked Barn (??)

Bought mine around the same time. learned about them on the yellow. It has a Don C stainless tube and disco valve and fill port now. Everything else is original. !4 in barrel and same breech as yours. Would post a pic but my computer crashed with all of my pictures. Mark

I got to know Ron Sauls and Jim Giles pretty well while interacting and doing business with them in the years we were displaying at the annual Arkansas airgun shows. We were all into vintage Crosmans, and Ron would occasionally bring in some very interesting Filipino Co2 guns.

My testing of the .22 Tom Cat pictured above proved it quite an impressive Co2 pistol in both power and accuracy. Despite the rudimentary nature of the iron sights, that looong sight radius hinted at the accuracy potential of the platform-

15.9 grain JSB Exact, 90 F, after overhaul, 10 shots- Low= 545, High= 563, ES= 18, SD= 4, Average= 554 FPS/10.8 FPE.
4/7/06- Five consecutive 5 shot groups at 25 yards with Exacts averaged 1” center-to-center with iron sights.

Industry rear sight, grips of course are R Brown

Have a couple Crooked Barns I didn’t even know what they were when I bought the pistols. Wish I was around in the early 2000’s I do have a couple of Dennis Quackenbush breeches a,so.
