Not sure what to say or make of this pre-WWII Haenel Model III DRP at the moment, other than its markings are much different than the ones on my older Model III. This rifle has none of the typical stampings in the known locations such as there is only a small z on the underside of barrel where...

Pre ordered one in May 2023, cancelled pre order in mid June due to shift in priorities. Fall came and wife told me to get one if I still wanted one, from there it was another 2 weeks before I convinced myself to make the purchase. So glad I did, this rifle is everything I was expecting that it...

Found an article on the JG Airguns site that talks about the Crosman 1923 Model. At the end of the article was a paragraph and picture describing what may be or is a variant of the Model 1923, but has a forearm pump and the design of the Crosman 362 One Hundred Year Edition appears to mirror...

In May I had one pre-ordered, in June I was so discouraged with the delays I cancelled that order. Fast forward to November and seeing there were some available I decided to get one again. Just checked USPS tracking and it is moving to my location and should arrive 12/1. Now to my question...

Well a few weeks ago I picked up these two: .22 Haenel Model III DRP, made in 10-1927 Tore it it down to clean and inspect it, refinished stock, seals were good, but I will replace them as time allows, spring is good. It is missing the rear sight assembly, I have one ordered and it should be...

It all started when my Dad bought a new Beeman San Rafael Feinwerkbau 124 Sport Deluxe #44554 (1981/82) with a blue ribbon scope in 1982, when he passed in 2017 my mother passed his air rifle on to me. Having two sons I wanted to balance things out so I found another Beeman SanRafael Feinwerkbau...

Well today I decided to take a chance on an unusual underlever air rifle being a .177 Winchester Model 1100 XSU I found at a second hand store. Cosmetically it needs some work to make the Turkish Walnut stock presentable and a good cleaning and relive of the metal parts. However, I figured for...

I bought this FWB Sport from Airguns of Arizona on 11/23, it was in the preowned listing and described as used for a video review model. Curious I searched the internet in hopes of finding a review with this rifle. I found the video review Ben Pierson recorded on 10/30/2021 for Airgun101...

I bought this Crosman 114 from Baker Airguns about a week after the purchase of the BSF Model S60. The 114 was priced to move since it was not holding Co2. Tonight I decided to clean it up and install new seals before it got any colder. Sprucing up the exterior will not be to bad as it was in...

A little over a month ago I bought this Bavaria BSF S60 from Baker Airguns. It was rusty, smelly, barely cocked and if it did it would not stay that way for long if at all. This rifle challenged me every step of the way and there were 3-4 times that I almost threw in the towel and leave it as a...

Last week I won this Beeman HW77 on eBay for a winter project. I was surprised when researching its age based on its serial # it was made in 1984 and is known as a “launch version” also known as a Mk1. This one has two scope stop holes on the rear of the compression tube block, the spring and...

I found this 102 on eBay and after looking at it for a month or so I decided why not give it a try. I am skeptical of buying project guns from eBay as they usually have more issues than documented or photoed. This one was no exception as it had a bad receiver that was cracked from one side of...

Air rifle EM-GE KRONE Zella-Mehlis Thuringia DRGM in cal 4.5 mm, probably built in either 1926 or 1936 (high probability 2-1936) based upon the very worn stamping on the stock. Also on On barrel breech below the caliber there is a ship with the inscription “Germany”. This gun was not in bad...

Well summer is almost gone and this has been sitting in pieces on my bench since April. I lost my before pictures but can tell you this Crosman 147M (November 1968) was in rough non shooting shape. When I got it had the following issues: 1. Lots of surface rust - will redo at some point but for...

Don’t know much about the Crosman Model 120, all I do know is I got off of EBay for a very cheap offer that was accepted after 3 weeks. So far I have replaced the pump lever assembly arm, resealed and cleaned up the rust, repainted it and redid the wood. I have the rear sight, apprature and a...

About a month ago I resealed a Crosman 140 4th variant I became fascinated with the design and construction of the 140. Yes the 4th variant is nice with the trigger pack design but that is not me, I wanted an early example of the 140. As luck would have it I found this cheap beat up, rusting...

This rare Crosman Model 100 (.177 caliber) has new seals installed, fresh paint on painted metal areas and wood refinished. This is the rifle my wife and sons bought before I could get home one day in mid December. As luck would have it they told me they bought when they saw how disappointed I...

I usually go for the odd or vintage air rifle. However, I do like to explore the new every once in a while which is why I purchased this 362 from the Budk.com site last week arrived today. I have not been able to test velocity but others have and I have no doubt this one will perform in a...

While I don’t buy much off of Ebay I do like putting items in a watch list just to see how much a rifle I am interested in may sell for, early this past week I was watching this Crosman 100 on Ebay. When I got home late Tuesday night I decided to go for it after convincing myself that this was...

Found this Beeman 250 (Diana Model 45) in a pawn shop a little over a year ago, the date stamping indicates it was made in March 1980. Just this week I finally got around to giving it some attention. The internals were in very nice shape with the exception of the piston seal, it seems someone...
