Had a blue dart gun as a kid. Looked just like a Wolverine. Always wanted a real one.

When my dad passed away acouple years ago we were cleaning out his stuff and in one of his dresser drawers was one of these. I thought I knew about all of his guns but had never seen this one. I ask his wife about it and she said that he had always had it as long as she was married to him and that was 30 years. It is in new condition and shoots like a dream. Way ahead of its time.

I owned one back in the 60's and killed a bunch of rabbits with it. It was fun to shoot and shot much better than most would think by looking at it.
