asi statical

[fat man]

dose anyone remember these, recol surpressed a bit of movement as action slid back on rails, very short rear stock and a small bit of wood screwed under barrel to rest your suppoting hand. Accurate if you could find German Pellets, in my are a at time no one did , you used what was avaiable, webley GP, Milbro Caledonian or Marksman in the cardboard boxes. Bought for me by my dad just afore he died in 1979. Any ideas how rare!.

Well i learn something new every time, did not know it was available in .177. What about other part of question though about pel seat, any ideas ! respect to you IJ.

[I. J.]

Never had any personal experience of pellet seating but I know of the Beeman version which was pen shaped with a clip for your pocket.
I have heard of someone having a pellet seater set onto a ring on their finger.

Great rifle, still have mine from having it new for birthday and christmas at the age of 14 came with ASI 4 x 32 scope, totally recoil free and still comes up unto the shoulder without any effort, not partically powerful though but I spent hours shooting it. Gets my vote cheers Roll

[fat man]

thanks to all who replied yes i like that gun, bit different to take along to the club ,and its prettet unique as the first recol suppresed gun made in Spain and the first to be incorporated in to a sporting gun allbeit a fairly low powerd one, but is accuracy more important than power ! yes i think it is.

Yes,
I remember them, first gun I nearly got shot with. Lad next door didn't know I was lying in wait for rabbits and started taking pot shots at a fence post close to me. Went to have a row but got too interested in the gun, b***tad wouldn't even let me have a go with it. I think his mum had bought it from a catalogue for him. Don't know if he knew what recoil was, he certainly wasn't going to get his hands on my gun

Does anyone still stock spares for them? My brother-in-law has one, tried Chambers but no luck

[fat man]

hi odd bob , yes parts seem to be a problem, but i am sure someone on this site will have suggestion as to what is available or couuld be adapted.

[Oddbob08]

Update, I was on the Chambers site earlier and just out of interest, looked at the Statical list again.

They now have a few basis spares, springs, seals and shims, not a lot but maybe enough to get an old gun shooting again

Still be too dear for my brother in law though, think he has all my Scottish blood and he's not even remotely Scottish

Ah,
those were the days! Airguns in catalogues! Those heady days of pre political correctness. I recall the Webley Vulcan was in there as well. Possibly shotguns as well if i remember rightly?

I used to spend hours drooling over the guns in there and wonder what it would be like to own one (I used to drool over another section in there as well but we wont talk about that).

Mam came from a long line of anti-shooting ancestors and so I could look at air guns as much as I wanted but wasnt about to be bought one. Funny as most of the male side of the family served in the Royal Artillery

I love threads on 70s and 80s springers.
