Here are some of my rarest FACTORY PRODUCED PISTON rifles NO CUSTOM MADE, NO PCP's! All have a total production of 100 specimens or less. Some much, much less. Right on the border of the 100 number is the Theoben Dual Magnum. Reported as “approximately 104” produced. I believe this may be the...

Only rare in the fact that I've yet to see another rear cocking American classic with this furniture. It had a rotary sleeve bolt with a magnetic probe and shot bbs or pellets in its original form. It was my dad's bought new and it was my first air gun 30 years ago and a second hand gift.

I updated it and rust removed what I could, the barrel was shot out with bbs.

If anyone here has a true interest in vintage and historic air rifles the Daisy Air Rifle Museum in Rogers, Arkansas is an enjoyable couple of hours.
I was amazed when I found out the Louis and Clark Expedition included an air rifle in their armory or that the gunners on WW2 bombers were trained to lead moving targets with specially made bb guns.
