Stampcollector Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Thought this would be interresting for some, I think someone posted something on these type of Air guns a while back. Here's the picture of what was at this fair in SW Virginia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jl7422 Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Originally sold by the Feltman Company. They have remained virtually unchanged since being introduced decades ago. Real workhorses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimB Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Yeah Feltman based gun. Shooting Star was bought by Jerry Prasser of Recon Ord fame back in the 90sJerry ended up rather frustrated as while he hoped to market them in the NFA community the majority of those he was stuck dealing with were CarniesThink he called his company Vintage Pneumatics He unloaded everything to some clown in texasthat guy assembled maybe a hundred from Jerry's parts then went bankrupt, not sure if anyone picked it back up.I really wasn't interested when Jerry offered the company to meI detest Carnival folk Feltmans will run forever with minimal maintance.Bought my first around 78'had a number over the years Another super cool one are the WWII MacGlashan Air Trainers. Those were made for the Army Air Corps to train gunners on bombers. Look roughly similar to an ANM2 Browning with spades. Used to be reasonable, rather spendy today to get into them.

TSMGguy Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) These things are going to out last all of us! I have an original intact star target framed over my desk. Every time I'm tempted to think nothing's impossible, I look at it. Edited July 14, 2018 by TSMGguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StooperZero Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 last time i shot one was almost 25 years ago . Be nice to find one and hook it up to the air compressor and watch $$$$ fly off into the backyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
