It's eligible, Jim, IF this particular MODEL went out of production during or earlier than 1986 (see post # 41 for complete rule).
The reason for the "out of production" criteria is partly because with air guns it's often difficult to determine what year the particular gun you're holding in your hand was manufactured.
Also partly because it's debatable whether anything still in production really is "vintage".
Cheers!

Let me have details when its ready to run.
Could give it a plug on my Bell Target Web site as well.
Hi Jim
The age of this particular gun has been verified by Serial number and asking Daisy so no probs on age. Thing is I don't know when production ceased since this is one of the basic "forever" kids models. Will check with daisy.

HMMM....as the rule is written, Jim, that could be a problem.
Since some had complained of the difficulty of verifying the age of a particular air gun, we decided to go with an "out of production in or before 1986" rule - for the model, not the particular gun in question.
So, if you hold in your hand a particular gun that was made in, say, 1940, but the MODEL is still in production, or didn't go out of production until 1987, or later: that particular gun WOULDN'T qualify.
I do have an Airgun Blue Book which gives production-run years for different models and I'll check this (and any other one in question) out.

Are the pistols all in one class, or are there seperate classes for spring, ssp, pcp, etc?
I'm not trying to make more work for you, honest!
Garry
They'll all be scored in one class, Garry.

Remember that the Vintage comp starts on 29 August. This is going to be a pure-fun, occasional (only in the months where there IS a 5th Saturday) competition: no leader board. It will be for rifles and pistols (separate scoring categories).
IF there's sufficient interest I might add pistol crossbows, too.

Hi Jim
Serious question. I keep going back to that seriese of pictures on Kranks website. Apart from the desire to own a historic pistol I have spotted this: http://www.henrykrank.com/vap112.html and I want to know what class it falls into. OK for this contest it doesn't matter. But what about the main comp?
Regards

Jim, that pistol doesn't appear to be a springer, CO2, or PCP, for sure: and in my opinion, it probably wouldn't qualify as an SSP either. It looks like a Multi (vs. Single) Stroke Pneumatic: aka a "pump-up".
Main comp doesn't have any categories for same.
However, my recommendation (just so, not a binding decision) is that because it's akin to an SSP, and because it doesn't offer any advantages over an SSP (probably the other way around, actually), it should be permitted in the SSP category.

This may be the one, copied from Pyramid Air
The Crosman 130 pneumatic was made from 1953 to 1970. It was a multi-pump pneumatic in .22 caliber, plus a model 137 in .177 was also made. These guns replaced the model 105/106 multi-pump pistols that had been in the Crosman line since 1947. Where the 105/106 guns were conventional in all ways, the 130/137 were groundbreaking new airguns.
Hi Guys
OK the Crosman is now mine so where are the targets for the contest Jim McA?
Or am I going to do them?
General opinion is that as you only get a single shot to a priming session (6 pumps) this puts it in the SSP group. Think of it as a SSP for wimps.
Will let you know how it shoots when I've done a strip & lube and had a look at the seals.
Feels beautiful in the hand and would have sulked if I hadn't adopted it. Only problem is that it seems to be pining for its friend the Titan and I need PCP gear for that making it a larger outlay.
Just as well Jim McA didnt come with me. They have a couple of cannon for sale.
