Crosman AIR 17

Neat! Have you shot it with BBs?

I have one I picked up on a yard sale around 1991 that is still missing a rear sight. For the longest time I just taped a de primed .45 Auto Rim case in the carrying handle, magic markered the base black and used that as a peep.

About 2000 I ran into some folks selling those awful plastic look alike Colt Scopes from China. The lady let me have one at her price so I would go away and stop talking.

I actually tried it on an AR-15 HBAR…. and the adjustment seemed to drift with each shot.

As I was taking if off the “Real” Rifle, I noticed the AiR-17 in the corner and would you believe? There was a mounting hole in the carrying handle! the darn cheap Red Chinese scope dropped right in and fit!

Despite range and parallax issues it is minute of Little Plastic Army Men at 7-10 yards. With BBs.

Before I scoped it I used it walking about the property popping of BBs using the old “Quick Skill” Technique of pointed fire. It seemed to translate over to my AR-15 use.

Thanks for sharing this one.

BTW if you have a video for that Daisy CO2 300 up on the wall could you repost it? Back when I had a 200 pistol as a kid my bestie got a 300 rifle and lorded it over me … for a week before it slid off the trunk of his dad’s car and got run over.

Again thanks for all your air gun videos and for posting them on THR!

Silliness! AiR 17 with cheap Chinese cope. Works though eye relief is an issue.
