Any air gun fans?

I remember shooting this in the backyard and exploding beer bottles. The stock is for a lefty, and honestly I never even noticed that until now... Kind of funny.
This is not an air gun, but pretty sweet.
And did you ever purchase a firearm because it was just different. This was FUGLY to me, but it grew on me. I always wanted a revolver rifle.

I just started selling off an accumulation of old Benjamins,Sheridans and Crosmans.I still have a Beeman R-1 in 20 cal,a RWS model 45,a RWS model 36 and a couple of fairly good quality Chinese springers.There is sort of a cult fallowing for those old American made pneumatics and they sell pretty well.
I also had a Gamo Whisper. It was good, but this one was much better. The older stuff was just made better. It would just blow the beer bottles apart. The Whisper had to be an exact hit, or it would just "bounce" off.
Kasey has a RWS with a scope to list for me is she ever gets around to it.
The old 5mm Sheridans Silver and Blu streaks are bringing a premium price now days and you will not believe the price of the old 5mm Sheridan Pellets and their containers. (collectors items and do not need to add the word VINTAGE just to jack up the price)
Got an RWS in .17 and love it. Bit heavy, but accurate and deadly.
I have a Sheridan Silver Streak maybe 65 years old! Probably should have given it to Kasey along with the many others she is in the process of selling for me!
Silver Streak bought new in 1956 for $18, a Blue Streak from gun show 2019 ($65) and RWS mod. 48 (.17) at a flea market in 2019 for $60. Love them Sheridans.
Wish I still had my .177 RWS Diana rifle, but traded it off some years ago. That thing was murder on ground hogs around my old place!
I did pick up a Crossman .177 Fury 1200 scoped rifle during one of those black friday deals at our local Family Farm & Home store 5 years ago. It is OK for what it cost me (100 bucks) but not close to half the gun that RWS was. I also have an old Benjamin pump in .22 cal. that is equipped with a rear peep sight. A great gun for arm strength workouts! 😁
I have a few nothing real fancy or high powered like todays high end offerings I have a few Crossman's , rifles and a pistols the pump up pistol I use for pest control on the rats and mice I have a barrel break over Beeman with a 22 and a 177 barres that interchange and a Chinese knock off I bought many years ago . I do not shoot them very often thought
oh maybe a 1/2 dozen daisy BB guns I have picked up over the years
I watched some out door channel ( when we still had dish network ) air gun program they had some impressive air guns even hunting hogs with some of them .
Glad you brought this up BandR Firearms. I have a .177 Crossman that I found in a '53 Studebaker that I bought in '56. I've never seen one like it. It doesn't pump or take cartridges but has a refillable tank that I would take to the local hobby store to be refilled. Any of you guys know anything about something like this?
Anything that has Studebaker and Crosman in the same paragraph has to be good.
You 'da man buddyb! BYW, it was a Lowery coupe.
I'd love to see pictures of your Crossman Jeff! Almost sounds like it was designed like those old air guns that were used by Lewis & Clark on their western expedition!
