Does anyone have a 22 lr pistol made by a air gun company like daisy ,crossman ,beeman. Years ago i rembember seeing one at a nra hunter pistol silhouette match .back in the 1988 time frame. Does anyone have any info.
 
Daisy "magic fuzz" maybe?
It was a powder-powered bullet fired by compressed air in a special version of a few Daisy air rifles & pistols back in the 60's some time.
 
Umarex was originally an air soft company that has been transformed into a real weapons manufacturer. They currently make weapons for Colt, HK, Walther, Sig Sauer, and GSG to name a few. Most of these are .22 lr. They also manufacture weapons in .380 and .45 ACP. There could be more, but those are the ones I know. They also build the Hammerli competition pellet rifles.
 
Daisy VL Rifle, 1967-1969. Looked like a cheap pellet rifle. Ammo (caseless) was expensive. I'm fairly certain that it was not offered in a handgun.
 
If I remember it was in 22lr .The nra banned it because it was a side cocking bolt pistol.bolt pistols were not alowed for hunter pistol. This was in the late 1980'S TO 1990's Time frame.

Ummm ... not really. Umarex USA doesn't make any of the firearms they import. Their .22 AR-15s and 1911s are made by others. Their 1911s, for example, (in a curious example of incestuous relationships) are made in Germany by Walther (which, or course, is part of S&W -- unless it's the other way around) under license from Colt. The .22 AR-15s are likewise made by someone else, under license from Colt. Umarex does not make the German Sport Guns. Those may also be made by Walther (I've read that in exactly one place, with zero substantiation, since seeing the GSG guns at the last SHOT Show in Orlando, which was almost three years ago), but I wouldn't bet the farm. The .45 caliber 1911 that Umarex imports is made in Turkey by yet another company.
 
A guy on the Walther forum posted photos from his tour of the German Walther / Umarex factory and every gun I mentioned was photographed in various stages of assembly. I made my list straight from his tour photos. Umarex USA may not manufacture them, but it appears the German plant does.
 
Beeman / Rhoner .22

I picked up one of the Beeman/Rhoner side lever pistols about 6 months ago. It was a family member's gun. Anybody know what kind of value it has? I can email or text photos.
Thanks.
