Thanks Bio. I get my kicks accomplishing the impossible with improbable equipment possessing potentials no-one else recognizes, explores, or believes. Much of that has to do with the fact I can't afford the best airguns money can buy; so have to settle for outshooting them with vintage and affordable guns capable of better performance than most people would imagine possible. I'm up to about a dozen NRA National records, State Champion, and National Champion titles with 1950s and 60s vintage Crosmans I gunsmithed to their full potentials; all with factory Crosman barrels, albeit sometimes shortened to pistol length.

My Crosman Model 70 from when I was a kid. And it’s for sale.
Wow ! A Winchester Model 70 look alike ! Never knew Crosman made one. What year(s) were those produced ?

Hi, I'm a new member. 
Photo etching on a mint 1924 BSA Club Standard. Cool little 1950's Italian underlever .177 (can anyone ID it?) . 1912 BSA Military pattern .22 . Webley Mark 1 .177 . A little whiff of my collection.

1867 Giffard pneumatic. Makes my BSA's seem modern? Can you see the engraving on even the buttstock and screws? Craftsmanship! Why doesn't Weihrauch add little touches like that?

I'll post some pics of my 'vintage' pneumatic masterpieces later, but in the meantime here is a link to an old discussion about the proposed definitions of vintage, modern, and antique air guns.

For your consideration.

If you will forgive my stealing my own pic from another nearby post, a shot of the different stock styles made for the Weihrauch HW 55 target rifle. The guns here range in age from the early 1950’s, to the late 1990’s.
