Beeman C1

Hi,
I'm looking for a Beeman C1 with safety (so a 2nd or 3rd variant).
Many thanks Louis

Louis must it be the Beeman ? Think my friend still has a Webley Vulcan for sale. Think the only difference is the stock shape, and I think the barrel may be a little shorter.

I thought the C1 action was a Victor (which is know is rather similar to the Vulcan )

As far as I know the Victor has no safety like the C1 type Louis wants. The Vulcan is quite pokey, every one I have worked on is around 11 ft.lb.

Thank you Baz! I will think about it. A C1 would be even nicer, as I love the stock design and the American aura (well, made in Birmingham for Mr Beeman ).
Kind regards,
Louis
Ps. Just picked up a Saxby & Palmer Ensign, legal over here, and a Cap Chur Model 50, made by Crosman and based on the 160. Very interesting!

The C1 points like a shotgun, so plinking fantastic fast. Like the Vulcan MKI packs a punch and a bit lively. Full power in a small package. Trigger a tough old thing. But keep to farmyard ranges then they hit stuff. Open sights is the way to keep them.
Well worth looking out for.

They are also legal here, just need a licence. The C1 is basically a Webley Vulcan with a shotgun stock fitted. Still got my Firebird ? They are the best rifle to use as a testbed, miss all my experiments. You are accumulating and I am selling, must be my stage of life ! You need the Cap Chur in your profession.

Hi Baz, yes I definitely still have your Firebird. It is a great rifle. John blueprinted it and I enjoy shooting it a lot, with all calibers.
Yes I am accumulating, which sometimes gives me sweaty armpits as it is an addiction, without wanting to be funny.
The Cap Chur is indeed purely out of necessity for my profession as a small animal veterinarian

Baz, “Shed”,

You are both wrong and both right.

The C1 is a C1.

Vulcan: Vulcan stock, full power spring. Safety.

Victor: as above, but Victor stock, lower power spring. No safety.

C1 (early): C1 stock, full power spring. No safety. 14” barrel.

C1 (late): as above, but safety.

My gut feeling is that most C1s were the early type, and that most of the later type went to the States.

I was in Protek Supplies at Bognor Regis today. They have a very nice Beeman C1 for sale.

No sorry it didn't have a price on it, give them a ring.
