Quackenbush Airguns, what’s the deal?

[Antoni]

I’ve seen a few other threads about these airguns and I would like for someone to clarify for me what’s going on, or are they/(is he): 

A. No longer producing stuff 

B. Ridiculously backordered

C. None of the above and I’m a moron for asking this question and the answer is on his website

Thanks,

Antoni

Mostly C. Call him and see. He is at the point in life that he is like a piece of rope. Your not going to push it.

Well ofcorse it’s C  

Does he have an email address? Even if he is not going to respond I can’t really call him so I would rather send him an email then do nothing.

Thanks,

AK

Actually you can call him that is his preference 

he is very selective on who he makes guns for go to his website and see what is available 

he will require that you sign a statement that you are not a felon and stuff

If you’ve never had the pleasure to have met him, he’s a great guy and knows big bore airguns. 


And oh yeah, he is really getting up in his years. If you are able to find someone crazy enough to sell their Quackenbush; buy it. Just sayin’.....

I'd love to have one of his guns myself because from what I've seen they are all fantastic guns.

Dennis makes some quality powerful no frills big bore hunting airguns and some have waited for a year or better to get theirs. Still that does not stop people from ordering them and the resale price is pretty much what a new one costs. He is an old school machinist and builds most of his guns from scratch from the ground up cutting, milling, drilling barrels, breeches and the stocks as well. For a time he made some guns using Crosman gripframes as well. Most of us that can get hold of one of his guns feel lucky to have it, beautiful craftsmanship in every one, and not many wish to part with them once in their grubby little hands. ;^)

It just takes a phone call to get your name in line for a purchase. Bought an outlaw from him many years back. Would like to have had a long gun but I don't hunt so figured I did not need one.

All are correct. Dennis is an honorable man. I recall my first gun I got from him and I mailed out payment with shipping. I didn't have the correct change for the shipping and assumed he'd just keep the change. It was just a few cents. When I got my gun, taped to a card was some pennies and coins as my refund on shipping.

As noted, he does prefer a phone call. His guns are the epitome of function. I have an early (SN 56) 50 cal that I think will go to the grave with me. Also have a .308 from him.

I'd like to snag one of his pistols as well before I'm unable to.

I was lucky enough to have a friend message me he had a Quackenbush 58cal pistol that used to belong to Bob Vogel Mr Hollowpoint and would I be interested in buying it I told him heck yeah a few days later an I'm the proud owner of a 58 Quackenbush pistol.

I have a few of Dennis's guns a .458 & .308 rifles, and .308 & .58 pistols. Had breakfast with him at the Malvern Ar. Gun show last year he said he was still selling every thing he makes, but he was not making as many as he use to. He is a old world machinist and vastly talented, he also loves every thing mechanical, especialy guns and motorcycles, we have those in common. Dennis usually leads a prayer at the Malvern show and its obvious he means every word spoken. Visiting with him is one of the high points of the Malvern show for me.

Just found out about Quackenbush airguns about 3 months ago, I now am the proud owner of 2 pistols. A .375 ball shooter and a shot- shell pistol.

 

[Bowhunter73]

Here's a couple of my Quackenbush pistols 1 is a 9mm, 2 is a 45 and 3 is my 58 sighted in the Bug Buster today with 282gr round balls at 25 yards 2 holes touching.

Thinking he is still running batches of whatever he likes when he has time, a Farmer among other things. Way back when when you waited for "the list" to open & moved fast to get on I picked up an LA (Long Action) Outlaw .458. 2 round balls touching at 65 yards was my normal and worked well.

really a fine utility
