air logic genesis database

[MightyPatch]

Am I right in thinking that the Air Logic Genesis was a full powered single stroke pneumatic sporting air rifle.

Why doesn't anybody do such an air rifle these days? Seems such a great idea (self contained power source but, presumably, recoiless).

Genesis is indeed a single stroke pneumatic.

Several manufacturers have tried offering such a system, but none have really caught on.

Genesis is heavy and not the easiest rifle to cock although I would guess there is a knack to it.

I suppose at the end of the day people like the concept, but not the effort involved in cocking and the extra weight of the mechanism.

Hi,sniper
I own no:38 bought from manchester airguns back in Dec 87 for £465
Its still smooth as silk and as accurate as ever! My dad originally owned this rifle and gave it to me for my 30th birthday! i also owned my own till about 1989 i think No:136? i wish i never sold it now! sold it to a member from Oldham and district airgun club! where is it now?? still im being greedy wanting 2. The one i have was fine fettled by Richard Spencer himself at his home near Accrington i think? in his own workshop,back in about 1988 and never needed anything since! I think Richard made enough parts for 200 rifles but think only 175 were finished! His own in .177 all others in .22
However! there is 2 .177 genesis as mine has been converted to .177 by my Dad! (yes he is a gunsmith) set at 11.2ft lbs
Wonder what its worth?Richard told me he has heard over £1000 has been handed over for them.
As for the cocking effort! there is definatly a knack as i have shot over 500 shots in one day with no worries! even compared to the modern precharged rifles of today i think its one of the nicest and most accurate guns i have ever shot!

i saw one in a north east gunshop about ten years ago for a grand, it was there for over a year but in comparison to the limited edition bsa R10 next to it for the same price it made the R10 look like lucky bag tatt......
