I found it. It was a shark rifle 5.5 mm with a barrel 455 mm long .Patented in argentina PA 213908 US patent 4.282.852
The first prototypes started in 1975 and the first sucsesfull model hit the market in 1977.Model CD-455 capable of propeling a 1.6 grams pellet at 300 m/s or more, depending on the pressure of air.
Those Theoben guns are beautifull, PERFECTLY marketed , very accurate(german barrel), great idea (probably stolen and changed enough to grant a patent) horrible trigger, poorly engineer ( compaered to Dianas) and twice the price they are worth.
Sorry , how did I get here? OH.. Yes , is all about springs.
Stay away from gas rams. Springs are a lot easier to mantain an fix.I know ,I have both. |
