    Paul air shotgun

    Here is an unusual airgun a (Paul air shotgun) which I would think not many people have had the pleasure of handling, I have just finished resealing it for a friend. As you can see the valve is quite crude but it is very efficient, (looks like it could have been designed by a plumber). As you can see it has a large reservoir and I put about 40 pumps into it which produced 5 shots. Many thanks to Garvin for help with the pictures.

    Smile Rare air shotgun

    That is an interesting looking valve Lawrie.I've never handled a Paul-I suspect very few of them left the States.In fact,"off-shore Pauls "are probably the result of international trades.You certainly seem to be restoring some beauts!Trev

    Trevor, the friend who owns that air shotgun gets hold of quite a lot of rare airguns, which quite often are not working, and so they almost all come to me to see if I can do the work for him, Lawrie.

    150 pumps for 10 shots??????? Unless you shot a cow, you'd burn more calories loading it than you would gain from the hunt.

    There were skeet air shotguns for sale here in UK
    Back in the 80s.
    Can't remember who made them but I wanted one badly

    You aren't kidding, that valve looks like something I replaced in the toilet cistern of my old flat. The one I replaced, not the new one.

    Its certainly unusual, I had only heard of the 'Setter' air shotgun and the Crosman air shotgun, that plumber's mate looks far more businesslike. Is it FAC? With a single slug it would be over 12 fpe I guess.

    Here's the catalog... maybe

    We'll see if a link to AVA forum works over here, if it does, then here is the catalog published for the Paul shot gun. https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/Amer...uns-t8235.html

    Interesting advertisement for it. Says 1 good compression will give 1-5 shots.
