It's nice to read about others who have found memories or making modern ones with some of the same airguns as I have. Thanks for the compliments and sharing some or your stories.
Mike, so which of all of your Beeman springers do you like shooting the most? Which of the R1 models do you like the most? Even though the R1 I had was used every day for years and I was in love with it, that was a long, long time ago. I think I can remember what it looked like but I'm still not 100% sure of exactly which R1 is was. I know it had a brake/muzzle weight and it had a beautiful stock with a white spacer next to the butt bad. Other than that, all I can remember is that it was a .177 caliber and my parents bought it in Santa Rosa when there was a store there back in the late 70's or early 80's. My buddy also had an R1 that he got about a year before me for his 11th birthday, that's what gave my parent's the idea for my birthday. They were very similar but not the same. Sometimes when thinking back, I think I get some of their features mixed up. I guess without a picture, I'll neve know for sure which model R1 it was. Like I said though, I remember it looking like the 4th one down in your picture. What model is that, what year?
Have a good one. Stoti
