air logic genesis info?

[sniper22]

having tried to find a mint example of this rare rifle for 4 years, yesterday all my golden wonka bars came at once when i walked out of b.a.r with genesis number 149.
i know richard spencer designed the rifle and scalemead marketed them.
how many were made? anymore info?

Please report back - there are probably many here who would be interested in your findings

I remember chatting to Richard about this at his shop many moons ago. I thought he built 147 but yours is numbered 2 more ? He did produce a couple marked EXP and EXP2 (experimental) during devlopment. There is one .177 in existance (but Richard will not sell it - I tried but he refused ) He tells a fascinating story about the Home Office involvement and he was under house arrest or something similar

PS I think he shuts on wednesdays !!!!!

If you want to be absolutey authentic you will need an air logic 'mosquito' one piece mount and an Air logic 4-20x40 (30mm body) scope. I have one of these scopes and they are awesome rangefinders with cristal clear optics (you can still but them badged as hakko)

ill go to the shop on thursday all being well and see if i can get some info from richard. i also want the little button damper that stops the cocking arm slamming shut. i wonder if he still has spares?
also with my rifle was a 5/8 unf silencer, polished alloy and totally useless at taming the noise.
i wentt out to the range today to zero it and found muscles i never knew existed. its a mans gun because the cocking is so hard to complete.
im impressed at the accuracy of the gun and now ive stripped the barrel of and relubed the barrel bushes and 19 years of cack that had accumulated in the action. now its smooth a silk and shoots like a dream. ive had a laugh too, a guy in the club whos retired and game for anything asked for a go so i told him if he could cock it id give him a few goes.
needless to say, this poor guys neck muscles finally gave up the ghost and thats why he only shot his daystates today.

See my entry on Gone but Not Forgotten re Bil Kennedy..

Bill was the only man in the club that could effortlessly cock his Genesis,
a .22, but he would take out the equivalent of today's reducers at 55 yards (FT, sitting) all day long. Sadly he died doing just that, at a North Oxon FT Winter League shoot, but that's another story.

Does anyone know which is the most accurate ammunition to use with the Genesis? both for targets and light game.

Had a chat to the man himself on Thursday, he recommends Eley Wasps (the old ones) of which I still have half a tin or failing that Accupells.

Does anyone know who to get the outer barrel off the front of the main cylinder? One of the part 10 seals has gone on part three and it's losing compression when cocked. Richard said part 3 just knocks out of the front of the cylinder but obviously this can't be done with the barrel in place.

Any ideas?

Have you got the instruction manual and exploded component diagram? If you haven`t, then PM me with your e-mail address and I`ll send them to you. All should then be clear. ATB, 121 owner.

You sold your Mk4 to fund this? Is the Genesis as accurate

i had one mint in box with mount serial 16 or 17 yours could have been the last one made ,147 i thought 1 in 177 that richard owns good idea but i found it a bit big compared to my mohawk so i sold it paid £200 for mine

A friend of mine had numbers 44 and 151 for sale in 2004 and quoted a figure of 175 being made in .22 only.
I would have thought Richard Spencer would be the one who knows how many were made.

Indeed, Necroposting for the win!

However, the point is still valid
