Before WW3 Haenel was a giant in the German arms industry. The plant was located in what became East Germany after the war. The communist government of that state tried to recreate Haenel, but the concept of quality was foreign to them. There was another attempt to recreate Haenel after...

They were made by Snow Peak in China. They do not appear on Snow Peak's website. The last source was Mrodair, but the website no longer lists them and the website does not appear functional.

I received my first Beeman catalog in the early 1970s. Tempting though the ads were, I already had a Winchester 427 and Beeman's prices, although cheaper than Air Rifle Headquarters, were off-putting. In the early 1980s I was browsing through Shotgun News in a magazine store when an ad for BSF...

Made in Brazil by Gamo - and - it's a repeater. .177 caliber

A real fun gun, particularly if you have the skeet set.

Wow, that's a toughie. I have been collecting since the early 1980s and bought many guns (almost all leakers) for $10 to $20. After thinking hard I have to say my favorite cheap rifle is the Apache I bought for $20 at a garage sale which, to my surprise and delight, was complete with BB...

Unknown Chinese 4X20

It was easy on this one. Genuine Chinese AK sling.

Snow Peak CR600W Plinkster

I have two model IZH 38 rifles, made in the Soviet Union. One has the stock steel spring, the other an aftermarket gas spring. Both have the same replacement piston and breach seals. The gas spring gun has a crisper firing cycle, the steel spring version recoils softly, The gas spring gun...

This Webley product seems like it should be great, but it requires three hands to operate: one to hold and squeeze it, one to remove the pellet for loading and one to hold the airgun. That is why it looks new - never used.

IZH 22 marked HyScore 870. Made in the Soviet Union. Straightforward hardwood but beautifully simple shape.

Tau Safari. .22 cal in wood stock, built in silencer, match grade trigger. Fill from 12 g cartridges or sodamatic bulk bottle.

Not a break barrel, but definitely budget. The Snowpeak B3-1 cost about $50 new. I added a PRC (Peoples Republic of China) army muzzle brake and sling. The gun did not come with the later added scope mount, so I removed the open sight and installed a piece of aluminum dovetail scope mounting...

I always watch AAR on Air on youtube.com. His review of these guns found them to be very accurate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYT2K9DQsbY In the U.S. these guns are sold emphasizing their power, which often means perfect form and practiced control are necessary for accuracy. The guns...

This is about a gun I could, and could not, shoot. I bought my Apache, including two tubes of labelled Apache .25 caliber shot and the bb barrel insert, at a garage sale. To my amazement the gun both pumped and held air. I could chamber and fire bb's with ease and reasonable accuracy, but I...

When Theoben introduced the variable pumper there was discussion in the UK airgun press that the variable air spring was first produced years earlier by Shark in Argentina. Shark produced a small run of the guns in the 1990's or early 2000's. I scoured Buenos Aires to find one, but they...

My 50 has no safety.

I do not know in which edition Hiller made that pronouncement, but I wonder if he had seen the Diana 50 I have. My 450 was made in August, 1969, the 50 in March 1973. Compared to the 450 the 50 has a far thicker stock, a butt pad sufficient for a large caliber center fire rifle and...
