Okay, I have been looking on other forums as well, so to those who have seen me postingon other forums, I apologize for the redundancy i am trying to find an old BE Barracuda from around 1990 or so. Heres a pic:

Funny looking old beast, but none the less something I want to restore and put in the collection. If you have ever seen one, have one you want to sell, or know someone who might let me know.

That marker is back from the days when the golden eagle was around. Call palmers after 10 monday thur friday and ask for a guy name Ty. He just might know of someone.

:rolleyes: Hmmmmm.... I'm not really sure if it is or not. The last (and only) time I ever saw one was in like....1991... maybe '92. It's just such a rare and unusual piece, I thought it would be pretty cool to restore it and maybe even pull it out for a game or two every now and again. It's really funny to see actually... with a tank screwed in (:Dold school back bottle :laugh: ) it's almost four feet in length! The action isnt even semi auto, it's actually a double-action! That means when you pull the trigger back you have to pull back far (and HARD), and when it fires the trigger has to go all the way foward to catch again. Kind of like the way a cap gun works, but with air instead of gun powder.

Yes the barrels are removable. There was also a model which was the same but with an 11" barrel, I can't remember the name. Note the verticle feed and huge sight rail (it was made to go over the top of an "ammo box" ) they are tight guns considering sold for around $359-400 if i recall.

Yes there was a smaller version called the "Mini II". It really surprises me how many people I have found that actually knew about the old beasts!
