Dennis Quackenbush sold this .50 to my father at the Roanoke Airgun Show many years ago. I am not sure of the model number - Dennis had a plate mounted on the stock but my father removed it for some reason. I remember shooting it a couple times - it was loud!

The serial number should be on the opposite side? Supposedly Dennis has records going back to the beginning? You can call him, just NOT ON SUNDAYS. He'll tell you about it.

I never was able to get on one of his “lists”, but I have talked with him on the phone a couple of times….he’s definitely a nice guy to talk to.

Yea, I tried getting on his list too, but never got picked. I picked up a couple of DAQ's locally. I gave him a ring early my time. I gave him serial numbers and he told me caliber, model, and when he made it. Super nice guy.

I really am impressed with my rattler so far. It is super accurate, I've never had one problem with it. Aside from some of the trim pieces rattling around that I fixed with shims, it's a great gun.

I'm trying not to convince myself to buy the 457 longstrike. And I really need one of the new tex Rex 50cal also...
Me too,lol was going to look again tonight. Birthday next week 🤪
