Product Details

A CASED MULTI-CALIBRE COLCHESTER WEAPONS WORKSHOP LTD. LIMITED EDITION 'GAMEKEEPER' AIR-RIFLE, serial no. 24,
of 25 produced in 1990, with interchangeable .177, .22 and .25 blued 15in. barrels threaded for moderator, blued slab-sided receiver with twist-open bolt action loading, the right hand side deeply stamped 'THE GAMEKEEPER' over 'SPECIAL EDITION', the underside behind reservoir dock '24 OF 25', removable walnut butt-stock with rubber heel-plate, smooth walnut pistol-grip and detachable under-barrel air cylinder, complete with an aluminium transit case, spare air cylinder, pressure gauge, sound moderator and instruction book, appearing very little used (untested)

Provenance: This rare air-rifle was produced in very low numbers by the Colchester Weapons Workshop Ltd between 1989 and 1992, with the majority being plastic stocked standard versions. Production and reliability problems led to the manufacture being taken over by Providence Arms Co. in 1992. Most of the examples subsequently manufactured (believed less than 50) were sold as 'Beeman Gamekeepers' in the US. The company was wound up in 1997
