Thanks for sharing. 

VERY nice. How often do you shoot them?

Very nice collection !!

Tyrolean stock rocks. I have one in HW77 gold plated.

Dang, looks like you have every model they made. Very nice collection.

Nice collection of R1s you have there!

I had a chance to acquire one of those and a RX Commemorative about six years ago. Kick myself for not buying the RX. It was in really nice condition too. The R1 was a little beaten up so was not heartbroken over that one. Anyway, a real nice find. Now if you can get your hands on a R1 custom shop you'll be really close to a complete collection. I know you don't like the R1-AW or R-1 Laser MKIII, but you might want to consider if you can find them. Did you just buy this gun?

Now I'm a little envious since you just acquired it. Please tell me you knew someone instead of seeing it at an auction or classifieds so it softens the blow that I missed it?

Never-mind, looks like I have one in my stash too!

Great purchase and special find. I really enjoy both of my R1’s, one is .177 (San Rafael) the other is .20 (Santa Rosa), of the two I really enjoy the .20 cal more. 


I hope to add a .22 in the near future and possibly a .25 just to have one in each caliber. These two will also need to be the older variants from San Rafael or Santa Rosa.

Nice! Congratulations.

The scope and breadth of DMM's collection is truly breathtaking. From his exposure on this forum, I would venture to say that he is the best known hard-core collector we have. So when someone has a really nice collectible gun they need to move, it would make sense to reach out to him. These highly collectible guns seldom make it to auction sites. However some do, as seen by the Dual Magnum Theoben that just sold on Fleabay for $2000. I am sure he would have a pretty good network of contacts. I might be wrong but just my opinion.

Very impressive. I'm a big fan of the R1. Had one in every caliber over the years and have taken a lot of Squirrels with them. If I ever come across a R1 Carbine in great shape I'm going to add it to my collection. I wish they still made the R1 stock instead of the HW80. Much nicer. 

Nice rare R1 

DualMagMike outstanding. You could easily make a poster of Air Rifles. I’d buy one for my shop. Thanks Crow
