Does anyone know if they still make these?   Posted: Sun May 23, 2010 6:33 pm sureshot18 Member Joined: 18 Jan 2010 Posts: 59 I think so Is this it? http://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Marksman_1010_Classic/626 _________________ Crosman G1 extreme 177Cal. 1000fps Gamo shadow express .22 cal 750 fps   Posted: Sun May 23, 2010 6:59 pm donec Senior Member Joined: 19 Dec 2009 Posts: 836 Location: central Texas Pflugerville area That looks a lot like it but that one is an air pistol and loads in a break in the barrel. The one I had had a spring loaded tube under the barrel that pushed the BB's up into the chamber. When you cocked it the feed chamber closed and the loaded BB road in a kind of chair back with the spring cocking to be thrown forward when fired. The the feed tube opened and fed another BB into the chair type thing.   Posted: Sun May 23, 2010 9:20 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" DO NOT BUY the Marksman 1010. It is less than a POS-- you will have more success hitting targets by throwing the entire gun. I cannot believe Marksman/SR Industries has continued to embarrass themselves by still selling this offense of a "gun". _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

I have no intention of buying a Marksman 1010 but I might buy a catapult BB gun if I find one.   Posted: Sun May 23, 2010 10:19 pm donec Senior Member Joined: 19 Dec 2009 Posts: 836 Location: central Texas Pflugerville area Slavia wrote: I don't think the Marksman 1010 is a catapault type gun - it has an actual piston with seal.

I am also sure such a gun like that has rotten accuracy but it could have memories. spring powered pistols     Air Gun Home Forum Index » General Air Gun Questions and Topics You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
