Thanks for the feed back!
I was surprised how far air guns went as well, last i read the Lewis and Clark expedition had air riles.
I have a crosman .22 pellet rifle that is a variation of there first model, a 101 i think, i cant find the website that had the data i am looking for, it has a side loading magazine and operates like a bolt action to load, rear knob to cock it and it's a pump style, mine is from the mid 1930's as it has a rubberized pump lever handhold is that's the right term, it was only used for one year and i think it was 1936-37 when i can find the exact date i will update that, it's in poor cosmetic condition but it works very well so i am torn if i want to cosmetically restore it or not. the barrel is brass, i have no clue why they did that, but it still has it's rifling.
I just looked up the British Theoben Eliminator Mk2, that is a serious air rifle that makes me drool, i have spent that level of money on a center fire rifle but not an air rifle ..yet lol so many hobbies so little money, From what i read you cant use normal lead pellets, i think they would deform or de laminate at those energy levels?
