This 64 year old airgun is a beauty. It is 34" long, and has a smooth bore barrel. It is very easy to cock, has a nice trigger, and is fairly accurate to about 10 meters.

This airgun is made for a child, but it is not cheaply made. The folded metal construction is very beautiful. (It is amazing what can be done with folded metal.)

This Gecado airgun is great for killing cans. It cocks effortlessly, shoots fairly straight, and is FUN FUN FUN. This is my Girlfriend's favorite to shoot. ( Mine too.)

It is hard to shoot modern airguns without being disappointed, with the cheapness of the materials used, the tactifool nonsense, and exaggerated supersonic FPS.

This is a flashback to another era when companies took pride in their products. Good, honest, simple products.
