My wife got this for me at an estate sale last week end. We were thinking it was a 22 rifle but found out it is an air dart rifle.

Nice looking rifle. The buttstock is on upside down.

Thanks Gundoc1!!! I will have to change that. Do you know anymore about the gun? I know a little about it but having a hard time dating it.

My book says that H.M.Quackenbush made airguns from 1871-1943.

rrhode: The 1900 sears catalog lists a couple of the Quackenbush rifles as well as illustrations and prices-The orginal catalog is hard to come by but several reproducts were made in the 1970s that seem to be quite good-

Hi, your Quackenbush is a very late one with a high serial number but in very good condition (although it could do with some oil on it to stop the rust!) it's a model 1 which is the most common with about 36,550 being manufactured up to the mid 20's. It has a brass barrel which fires a 0.21" felted lead slug. In the uk they are worth between 300 & 450 usd although in poor condition I've bought them for 30 dollars. If your interested in selling please let me know, regards Jon
