allross Trailsman

[fatttmannn]

Knock on the door last night, one of my mates boyfriends with a gun bag. Marks a builder and had been given this gun by the owner of a house he did some work on. Marks a biker but has no idea of guns, so on opening the gun bag it was a Trailsman take down. .22 barell, I charged her from my tank and shes still holding air, allso had a nice Whitetail 1-5x20 and a screw on stubby silencer. I only have a small back yard and a crazy old woman has a nosey neighbour next door So had to test with my chrono in the hall way with a suitable back stop using air arms/ jsbs shes doing a nice 11.3 ftlbs. Mark liked the " day of the jackal" look and at first was happy to sell to me then he saw my collection, stated f , I thought i was bad on my bikes, he has 11 includeing a Vicent and a Nortan has well has his Hondas and Suzukis Hes now decided hes keeping the bloody thing or he thinks he is, ( have to have a word with the lovley Kath his good lady and one of my best mates ) may well come my way then I have the co2 Starfire thats awesome, the Trailsman looks has well made, how many of them were made, I know from corrspondence with BTDT that sadly Allros are long gone.

Resealed one for my mate, very simple design and a bit agricultural. Could make one in my garage. Seemed very accurate, but found it difficult to line up threads of air cylinder when screwing together.

I had one in 22 a couple years back, very accurate,but like a fool i sold it.If you get it make sure you don`t loose the o ring off the cylinder,sounds like a sub machine gun if its missing if i remember correctly its a low shot count (20) or so ?

I have a Trailsman Dave http://s662.photobucket.com/user/pmb...os%20trailsman

Above link has a copy of the Alros sales advert at the time.

Mine has optional extras: silencer, s/steel bolt handle, and tool-roll carry bag. I bought it from tinbum. Its .177 cal. set up to give 30 good shots at 10.5 FPE.

I don't know how many were made, but r.e. Alros quality, apparently some mistakes were made by cheapening the manufacturing processes... which is a shame.

as well as the slim cylinder they also did a 400cc bottle like a rapid 7 , i have both and in my oppion the bigger botle helps with the balance . Very accurate .

I love mine too. I have the slim tube version in multi-shot.... (8 x mag)
...but caused me real problems when i first got it - hence the separate thread you've just prompted me to put up in case my solution is helpful for others.

Enjoy - a huge grin is a habitual symptom of ownership!
