Broommaster,
That is ugly! I find the scope rail particularly disturbing. |

I think cw's first photo is of a GOOD looking gun. But that's just my opinion. I agree about the others ; they are butt-ugly.
I know another airgun enthusiast who has at least one creation of cannibalized and fabricated parts that certainly qualifies in this category.
Hey " T ", are you reading this ? (Maybe he will post a photo)

The first one has to much going on. You'd be looking at the detail so much that you wouldn't even get to shooting.
There is a disruptance in the force and it's an over-detailed stock. |

Roy says "maybe 'T' will post a photograph".............
Hey, now, whippersnapper. Let's have some respect for our elders, and for red-blooded American manufacturing technology.
You know how you poke through the refrigerator on Tuesday night, trying to assemble supper from the weekend's leftovers? With a little sauce and some cheese you can clean out the refrigerator and serve something that will get by for a week night? That's this gun. At least it was, until the valve seals went out. Since it has the performance of a Crosman 760 (which it mostly is), I haven't wanted to devote the time to get it back together. It is a Crosman 760/130/Schwinn/golf trophy (smoothbore).

| Sorry fellas, being a junior forumer my opinion probably doesn't weigh that much, but just like there is dignity in any work that keeps you alive some of these creations look like art to me. That QB repeater has the whole form-follows-function thing happening and I just wish Dr F. would put them up for sale |
