Beeman R-1 AW .20 Carbine

Had a few of these. Might have two left. From what I remember, all weather versions came in .20 carbine. This one has been hanging around in the safe forever. Last time I shot it was around 2005? I remember it grouped well with .20 Ram Jets, as that is an odd pellet that worked well (about 8.5gr.). I remember the stock was farmed out to H&S Precision. It's a pound heavier than other R-1's due to the stock. This one has a trigger shoe that is boxier than the early ones that were curved. Then there is a rear replacement plate. One of the rarest Beeman accessories. A CM sleeve is on the end. Not my first choice, but it is there.

.20 Ram Jet has to weigh more than 8+gr, should be double digits ~11-12gr
 
Wowie! I had no idea that existed. Do you have any idea what production numbers were?
I have only two or three of those replacement plates and sure wish they were still available.
Really cool rifle. Good to see you posting...I always liked your commentary on the old yellow,
Thank you. I have no idea, but I don't remember them being a limited run like the tyros or commemorative editions.
 
I was looking for an AW in the classifieds when a member came up with this .25 HW80K in electroless Nickle. I am glad to have bought it as it has become one of my favorites. I can’t find another like it. I have posted it on all the forums and haven’t received a response from anyone that had or has seen one. So I will give it another try. Has anyone seen a HW80K in stainless look?
