Here we go!

Dan wondered what kind of gun this was, so I went ahead and digged in my mind and the internet. Took about 5 seconds to get to the Xisico website, because that's where I saw it before.

First the pictures:

Now, I happen to know that these were, or are used as military trainers, allthough they mainly look like that for the cool. Mr. Green

I want one! Where can you buy one? To bad it's not a PCP. That would be a great pcp in my opinion.

A better CO2 shooter, and with some craftmanship that should actually be achievable. If you know someone who can make tubes at any size that can withstand a 70 Bar pressure.

It can be bought at www.bestairgun.com

Thanks to Anton's keen memory (the benefit of being young lol) he has spotted it right away. Smile

It isn't expensive, under 75 bucks new. It has mixed reviews...and is Chinese.

I am probably going to get it. It IS a repeater, although of course it requires pumping in between. I think I may get Jeff Dobric to look at 'er and see if he wants to mod it to CO2 or PCP for me.

Thanks for posting the pics for me, Anton. Military servers SUCK sometimes! Good on you for knowing it off the top of your head. Smile

It isn't a hard shooter, only 500 something fps with 4 pumps.....but that's just 4 pumps to get 'er there! Smile

Gotta love that.

And because it is a retractable stock carbine, it is a great rucksack gun in my opinion.

All the best,

-Dan

If you get your claws on one, be sure to review it well, Dan, and put it to some military testing too. Wink

I was considering getting one of those, but the prices they're charging for that gun up here are outrageous 70 bucks get's it if you live in the states, here in Canada it's $140.00 it seem's that the a/g dealers in this country are having a field day. The last gun I bought stateside was my QB-57 .22 ,which cost me $64.00, the same gun(in .177) is being sold here for $150.00, and check this out, When I accused the seller of these gun's here that he was price gouging, I was told to shut-up, and all my posts regarding the subject were deleted(that's the CAF for ya. Snipers way or the highway),, So screw Canadian dealers every chance you get, and send your money stateside, at least you know you'll be paying the proper price(thats aside from Eric of course, his prices are at par,or even better than whats being sold in the good ol' USofA), Cheer's, Andy.

I didn't buy this one. It was on GB and went up and beyond brand-new price and still needed shipping. People are so silly about stuff they think might be valuable lol. Smile

I will probably get one soon though. I have just sent off some money to a friend (Dave Peterson) for a couple more of his guns. I bought a Haenel Model 40 (XXXX) in .22 and a gallery style pistol called a Hubertus in .177. He has one more gun that I am getting from him; but I am at budget for right now. Wink

Great picture, lauchlin! Thanks for sharing. I saw one of your other posts where it appeared you had a Crosman 761 XL (gold receiver with ball handled bolt). That was my very first air gun of my own back in the '70s. Smile

I have been trying to find one just for nostalgia, but everyone wants a fortune lol. Smile

Andy,

If you break it down to me what requirements it takes to ship to Canada, I will send you whatever I legally can at cost. Just let me know, Redleg!

Anton, if you still have those pictures I sent you, you could stick up one of that Haenel DRP III rear sight. Smile

That is just an amazing feature and I am interested if anyone here knows more about it in relation to pre-WWII Haenels.

All the best,

-Dan

That's a real beauty there Lauchlin, where did you pick yours up?,,Thank's for the offer Dan, I'll talk to you about that when you get home. UBIQUE!(Latin for "Everywhere", It's whats on every Arty units battle honours Can&Brit,.) Cool

, Cheer's, Andy.

Said "ubiquitious" in English. Wink

I payed attention in school lol. Smile

We don't have one particular bit of Latin assigned to us in the US Army's artillery. Each unit has a motto whether that be a Corps, Division, Battalion, Squadron, whatever.....

Such as "Time on Target" or "Conjuncti Stamus" or "Toujours Pret". Smile

I have been in all of those. I like yours better. UBIQUE!

Yeppers...let me know your airgun needs after I get home. I will hook you right up. Don't treat it as one of those "hollow" offers 'cuz it isn't lol.
