Dan,

Tim (tjlglass) is a fan of these - if it isn't him your thinking of, he might know who they are.

Cheers,

There was someone on the old forum who was into cap guns and rifles and I think he was looking for old ads and a particular model (Lone Star?) but I don't remember him here.

Hi Guys, had a look on the old 'Lefora' site and it was "Dayle" who was asking about Cap Guns and only Dan (Brad Pittiful), commented on his request and offered a link to a website. "Dayle" only had 25 postings on the old site, so may not have been regular enough to notice the signs of our move to a new site.

Ghosty.

thanks guys...and dayle is one guy i remember...if tj see this ill ask him if he was the big collector or was it dayle

well in case someone has interest in these besides me...i got this the on my birthday...my mom gave me some one for my birthday and i bought this...i had a limit and it was way under it...its just like the one i had as a kid...got that one at christmas...funny i got one on christmas and one for my birthday haha!





here is the one i got at christmas

Very nice Dan, what make are they, I don't reconise the box artwork. My cap-guns were from Lone Star, the traditional Cowboy type in 'Chrome' effect finish and I also have (yes, still got it) a German Luger that I think was from a 'Man from U.N.C.L.E.' set. My biggest gun was one of those 'Johnny Seven' guns, that did everything, it was almost as tall as me!

Thank's for showing the pictures here, a good place for them and maybe we will see some more from forum members!

I'm back again...look what I have just found, the Lone Star 'Man from UNCLE Set' and apart from it's later white plastic items support tray, This is the set I had, but it was in hard plastic with a totally clear plastic lid, because it cracked when somebody leant on it with their hand, damm it!!!

oh sorry...its by mattel...shootin shell cap rifle...i always thought the words on the cardboard was samson...but i dont see how that ties in with the old west

during research ive come across the cardboard that mattel did for a few guns like that...one is...ramrod the other is....rango which was a tv show that only ran one season and that cardboard is harder to find

here is a link so you can see the rango rifle cardboard and then you can see a six shooter ramrod cardboard

i think mine says ramrod...now if i could find the cardboard for the rifle that would rule

also i cant believe how small this rifle is...of couse last time i held one i was prolly 10 years old...with a kids hands...haha

oh yeah the part on the side where you put the bullets in isnt there...i wish i could get that fixed...oh well..i got it cheap for now thats all that counts

whoa that is sweet! i used to watch uncle...i remember during the commercial i would get into a shoot out with some bad guys...i cant remember if i just had a regular detective type pistol or the man from uncle official pistol...anyway that set is awesome...ive seen it lots of times when i was looking for cap guns on ebay...nice you still have the luger from when you were a kid

ive also seen the johnny 7 set...wow that thing is massive...one kid on my street had a complete army set with uniform machine gun helmet grenades...so when we would play army some of use used our cowboy guns ...oh well cant be authentic when you parts said...we bought you a gun...then explain but its not an army gun its a cowboy gun...they still didnt care
