Most of my guns fall under the they are well past being discussed because they are no longer made or old fashioned compared to the current offerings. I forget when the T12 was even made. I picked this one up used on Craigslist a few years ago. It had a slight leak and the owner had the trigger way out of whack. Perfect for me.

I got this out a few days ago and was having a failure of the sear to engage. Easy fix, first stage screw had just backed out a bit. Figured I would post some pics.

Rifle has is 12 shot, 220 bar fill, is .22 and tuned for 20ftlbs. Gets a ton of shots and is boringly accurate with even Crosman PremierHP.

It don’t get more out of style than this bolt handle on the side.

So cool Wildcj! I had one quite a few years ago that I purchased from AoA used, it was accurate and quiet but leaked from the get go so I returned it. It was like you said boringly accurate amd quiet! If I remember correctly these models had a fill gauge while the non FT's didn't....enjoy shooting that beauty! Those have the real FX barrels!

I’ve bought nothing but used airguns in the last 3 years (except the Huben GK1). I love the guys that get rid of these old treasures so they can have the latest and greatest version. Sometimes at a huge discount from the new price. Most recently picked up a Daystate Wolverine that was more than half the price of what they sold for new!

I didn’t know about the non ft guns not having a gauge. Was the FT a special only through AOA?

I guess not so much I meant old but more before the drastic shift in style. There were already sidelever cocking like ev2, lg100 etc. but the Impact come out and shifted pretty much everything from bolt to sidelever, wood stock to more tactical.

Yeah they are nice rifles, to shoot and look at.
I am actually a tacticool fan, but i can also mention many such rifles that put me off

The Two i shoot now i am very happy with its folding stock that let it ride in a 1 M case in the trunk, where as everything larger have to ride on the back seat, which for transport is OK i recon, but then i can not get myself to turn my back to my car for just 1 second, i can do that easy with the rifle in the trunk.

Or that is i do also like that now i have a connected dashcam in my car, so i can virtually sit in the car while out of it, and it give me the option to track it in case it start to drive without me in it.
