    I'd assumed elan mk2 meant the regulated version, released many years after the original unregged mk1 ceased production.
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Elan

    the theoben elan was just over 20 made with the original rapid block with the mag ears on the block and a 62 cc buddy bottle on with the dc silencer on most had the evolution cap on the end and a few had the vortex cap on and only in .22 caliber and where good for 50 full power shots in sub 12
    I had 3 of them

    the elan with the engraving on block and fancy stock spotter or thumb hole if I remember rightly was the btas model with reg and in any Caliber and bigger air tube

    never knew it was that rare - I had one too, which I stupidly sold.

    That’s interesting, I didn’t realise only 20ish was made, I’ve got 2 stocks with it too, a left and right but I’m right handed so the left will be sold, the mk2 btas I have hasn’t got the thumb hole stock on it, do you know how many btas was mate?

    Sorry the Theoben Elan with the thumbhole stock and engraving on the action has the tiny 62cc bottle (I think that is the size) integrated into the stock. I know this as I am lucky enough to own one😅
