    Whaley Crosman for sale

    For sale my .177 whaley crosman it shoots well and hold pressure with no problem , the stock could do with re-finnishing and the button type safety catch is missing but they are still available , there were only around 200 of these ever made , if my memory serves well these were a creation of a chap named Peter Marshall in the very late 1970's early 1980's and are something you dont see to often these days £90 ono , pictures on request and will post at cost and buyers risk , would do a deal with a Parker Hale striker or Brocock Independent

    OOOOoooooohhhhhh !

    Very nice indeed ! Love the look . Did they really recast the action in brass or is it plated ? The stocks - I remember reading that you could have a choice - oak , walnut , fancy beech .

    No, they are not cast in brass sadly, just painted I think. From memory , they were advertised as being available in several different colours and different wood stocks. Customised to the customers requirements.
    It is a shame the rifle never lived up to the hype as regards its performance, which is why so few were made.
    Mine has been adjusted so that it gives 800 fps on 10 easy pumps....no second shot. I cannot see how it would ever give 2 shots at 11 ft.lbs from 20 pumps as the air chamber is too small to deliver sufficient volume. Accuracy is good, whilst not outstanding. But, I like to use it as a shotgun, firing 4 bb at a time........it's fun.

    Pete.
