Beautiful rifle, I still have my 56, that I won at the Worlds Championship  in 89. . BTW, Harry Klump designed the stock for Marksman back in the day.

Now that’s what I call a photo shoot! Good to see some iron and pretty wood Brian. You definitely have upscale shooters. Love the scenery in your yard…perfect back drop! I really do like seeing presentations like that ? I have a very old hay rake in the front yard and while the flowers are still in bloom…nah, I’m too lazy LOL.

Is that Marksman of the 55 lineage?

@kwk Hey nice,really like the wall rack. Been wanting to make 1 like it sort of. How ever I like your rendition better. And thanks for clarifying the 55 part as straitflite had inquired.

Sorry, I didn't mention. I gleaned that photo from vintageairgunsgallery.

Does your 56 have a slide safety like the Mk1 R11? And earlier 55's?

 

Edit: The rack is trademark Frakor.

@kwk  That's okay with me, and yes the safety was once like that although has since removed. Now if you look close it appears the trigger blade loos like a T.Robb replacement? Will check out wall mnt. rack.

He's the AJTele of airguns, lol... A buddy of mines father once had a military powder burner collection of similar size. Made an awesome retirement for himself...

I just noticed the 56 has no barrel sleeve. That's the difference from a Mk1 R11? It has a muzzle weight/brake instead. ? 

Nice doggie
