Hit a Gun Show

A buddy and I went to the Albany Lions Club Gun Show today.

Ok, It’s not an airgun, but tell me you wouldn’t have bought it?

01081102

By Wham-o, back when toys were dangerous. Actually this is a dangerous toy as the aluminum prod could break and injure you.

01081103

Ugly.

01081104

I have no idea what the scale is for.

01081105

Powermaster.

01081106

The prod is mounted with a J bolt.

01081108

see, a J bolt.

01081109

Something nice to hang on the wall.

01081110

Catch housing.

01081111

I’ll have to take it apart and get a better look later.

01081112

An A.B.T. shooting gallery rifle.

01081113

The bolt handle doesn’t actually run a bolt, just moves the slide back.

01081114

Odd rear sight.

01081115

Another view.

01081116

Patent list.

01081117

Where the air hose connects.

01081118

I presume you load it here. This will also get taken apart later.

You never know what you’ll find at a gun show. I also got a Plainsman BB pistol thrown in with the A.B.T. but it unfortunately works. I passed on a Crosman 130 that had some extreme finish issues. But it was cheap ($25 asking price). I missed a Crosman 760 with the wood stock and metal receiver ($10!) by about 30 seconds – a guy got it before I could. Oh well.

Now to get back to the accursed Rochester.

    Certainly Wham-O has had to make settlements for Lawn Darts and even Hula Hoops, you wouldn't hesitate to use those would you?

    I am hoping your curiosity gets the better of you and finally string up that baby. Inquiring minds want to know. Get Derrick to loan you a helmet.

    Congratulations on your finds.

  3. Demanon,
    I agree, looking at the few pictures on the web it appears to be missing a front sight...I'll have to fabricate one.
