Hi Billbo,
Just dug out the December 2020 issue of Air Gunner magazine and it shows several old and early Quackenbush's on pages 96-100. They certainly look similar to your rifle, Billbo? If you haven't got a copy of this Air Gunner magazine, I could scan in the article and attach it to another reply to this thread if you'd like? If so, how do I attach a "pdf" file to a reply? Cheers, Myson. |

Good afternoon all, haven't done anymore on this little Gem until today being a rainy Sunday.
I think I may have mentioned before that the only thing missing on this rifle is the spring. Does anyone in their parts bins have a spring that is 15mm or 16mm(max) in diameter? May have to use a pistol spring. Length needs to me around 200mm long approx (still need to accurately measure this length) but I don't mind if it's longer as I can cut it to length. |

If you measure the diameter, the thickness of the wire, and count the coils (I imagine the spring would have compressed over the years of use.) you may be able to get a close match - Ron Young may have something in all his spare bits.
