A nice variety keeps it interesting

Yes, it is a Crosman M1 carbine same action as the model 350 which was the fps which it was rated for. There were 2 versions, 1966-67 with a wooden stock 1968-76 with plastic Crosman called it "Croswood" stock. I believe within the plastic stocks there was also a darker and lighter version but I don't know too much about it beyond that. Mine has the wood stock original magazine, owners manual, and factory service manual too.

I started a few weeks ago . Been at it enthusiastically for about 10 years but go back about 15 for some sporadic finds. I only really collect what I like and not just to just have any ole thing. I enjoy the classics from 80's & 90's when I used to drool over some of the advertisements and articles I saw and Beeman guides also.

Would you experts agree that the tyrolean stocked airguns are designed for the open sights? 

 

[DualMagMike]

Tyrolean stocks were likely originally designed for open sights but that certainly does not mean they cannot be used with scopes quite easily and effectively. I have scoped several Tyro's and used one for FT for a short time. It's all relative to the scope, mounts and your general face shape and size along with how you are used to fitting your face to the stock. I have two R1 Tyro's and had two 77 Tyro's but parted with one of the 77's and all were/are scoped. I even had a scope on my HW55T for a while but went back to the original diopter sights. Tyrolean stocks are not and have not been offered by any airgun maker in many years although some custom ones can be had. HW made Tyro stocks in several rifle models, I heard only a combined total of 500 were produced but I can not find or recall where I had heard or saw this. The HW55 was/is most certainly considered a match airgun although all Tyrolean stocks were banned fairly shortly after their introduction to the 10M circuit as an unfair advantage. The M designation alone would not take it out of a match quality airgun perse'. The biggest reason Tyrolean stocks are no longer as a production offering is price followed by apparent lack of sales likely due to aforementioned price. Another considerable reason is some find the Tyrolean stock uncomfortable, it is said those with "rounder faces" are more suited to its design. The R1 for exampled virtually doubled the price of the base R1 sporter stock. Back in the mid 80's the R1 was MSRP $349.50, the Tyrolean stock was a $300 option/upgrade!
