Beeman R1
- Thread starter JimmyV
- Start date
I don’t know if it’s a magnum or not but I have 2 other R1s and the serial numbers are just numbers no letters.

I believe that would be a replacement barrel. I have an HW .22 barrel with serial # HS3214 that I bought to replace the barrel on my R1.

Bob Beeman designed the R1.
All R1s were sold by him in three locations in California until he sold the company to S/R Industries (Marksman).
When Bob was in business, he and he alone was the sole importer of Weihrauch air arms.
The HW80 was a de-tuned (It came after the R1) for the rest of the world as when Bob was in business the R1 was only sold in the USA….

No numbers on the receiver. Just BEEMAN R1, MADE IN GERMANY . And yes HS4014 is on the barrel.

Curious, when did Beeman sell the business to S/R? Reason for asking is I bought my R1 at a gun shop in Clearwater, Florida. I think in 1985, might be 1986.

Just looked in an old file cabinet and I found the original pack of stuff that came with my R1, including the original receipt. I bought the gun at Shooter's Shak on 7/3/85. Cannot believe I still have all that paperwork. Also in the folder was Beeman catalog edition 12 and a 25th anniversary airgun guide.

Look for Attach Files in a small rectangle at the bottom left of the screen you see when typing a response. See the attached picture, it is circled in red.

Also…you should try and find a copy of the R1 Book by Tom Gaylord…Good reading..It may be available online..
It will clearly show everyone, the R1 came before the HW80..
