Beeman Sawed off Vulcan

A lot of coin for a Webley Vulcan with a sawed off barrel and says Beeman Bearcub on it. Congratulations to the seller! You scored. :)

I'm scratching my head here trying to figure out what was so special about this rifle that it went for that type of money....It was in very nice shape, but unless I'm missing something, it wasn't worth anywhere near what it sold for. I have a non beeman marked version (vulcan mk3 carbine) and in all honesty....the rifle kinda sucks! The only reason I bought mine is it looks like a mini kodiak, and I think it looks cool next to my kodiak🤣🤣 but the trigger Is absolutely terrible on the little vulcan.

You can tune up that trigger yourself and it will be pretty good. Even just backing of the spring pressure with the screw behind the dovetails can bring very good results and the creep is gone. Do this and you might find you have a neat gun. An Air Rifle Headquarters spring kit and seal can improve the snappy cycle. And you don't even need a spring compressor
 
Thanks! I know I can get it better, and they are a nifty little gun, however......in no way do I feel it would ever be a $1700 rifle! Are we missing something here and that one had something super rare about it? Or did 2 guys just go nuts for it? I should try and sell mine for half of that!🤣 JK....if anyone knows me reading this, they know I NEVER sell a rifle!🤣
 
There I was trying to click the images for alternate views 😁🤣😁🤣😅

Why so much?
Beeman fanboys.
I'd much rather have the regular Vulcan with the optional Beeman deluxe checkered walnut stock. Some of those were very nice walnut.
The Bearcub has a standard mid quality beech Vulcan stock. Vulcan stocks are a little bland.
A good Vulcan normally goes under $300. And For the price I think they're not bad. Accurate.
I bought a mint one from a Guy on GB several years ago for 140.00. And this before GB charged tax.. Rather than ship it to me he asked if I'd meet up at Cabela's on I78, an hour away to do the transaction. I agreed and when I met the gentleman he gave me a Mossberg 20 guage bolt action shotgun as well for free. TBH, I really didn't need the Vulcan but couldn't resist the price. It was the opening bid, I didn't expect to win the auction. And I don't need a bolt action shotgun either! :rolleyes::)
