Air Force One Trophy Pistol

[Doxbox]

Anyone know where to get more info on this pistol? I have tried to google it all i found was retailers sales pitch. ...mike...

The pistols are made in China by a company that makes stuff for the military. They have a non-adjustable trigger even though the blow up diagram shows an adjuster. A bit like a well thought out 2240 inside with a very robust firing valve in a hard anodised valve body and a filter on the CO2 inlet (take heed Crosman!!). The stock is fitted on with a bolt in the trigger guard and a small button head at the back of the stock. Absolutely cracking little pistols distributed to the trade by those nice people in Harrogate, who unfortunately have run out of .177. Having done quite a bit of testing on these pistols I can tell you they are uber reliable with power levels that will not disappoint. And can( with a bit of fiddling) be fitted with a half inch silencer adapter that makes them almost silent with an Swift Stumpy on. .25 version in the pipeline I'm informed.
I can email an exploded diagram if anyone would like one. Just PM me with your details.

Sounds very good and they look good too ,pity about the non adjustable trigger but I'm willing to forgive it if I could find one in a rfd or even in a European country with our power limits 😈 that .25 version sounds promising too !

I dont really see the point of this pistol at £159 a 2240 is about £70 add a steel breach and some nice grips and you still come in under £159 quid The 2240 is made in america with loads of bits already available and spares are easy to get hold of too. Why bother?

Why bother....?
Because this pistol is far better quality than than the Crosmans by a country mile, that's why. No plastic, no creaks, no slop. Excellent finish and engineering . You would never guess it is made in China .well worth the asking price imho.

+ 1 for that I have a few crosmans and as much as I like the older vintage models there is no comparison even though the 2200 models can be modified widely .

160 mps equates to 4.8ish ftlbs.

I would suggest that to get anything like 17J out of that length of barrel in .177 with co2 is going to involve changing the laws of physics.

I'm not saying it's 17j, it's likely the polish site has made a cockup with that figure and was meant to be 7j possibly? Even still, 160m/s is a lot for .22 in a pistol format, hopefully that figure is based on using very light pellets

Edit: apologies, your 160m/s was referring to .177
