A RARE .22 AIR-LOGIC GENESIS SINGLE-STROKE PNEUMATIC AIR RIFLE WITH WALNUT THUMBHOLE ANATOMICAL STOCK, serial no. 013,
circa 1988, with shrouded blued 19 1/2in. barrel sliding forwards to load, threaded at muzzle for a sound moderator and with chequered protector, locking bolt handle to left hand side, the top of breech marked 'GENESIS, A.R. SPENCER AIR LOGIC ENGLAND PATT APPLIED FOR', blued air-chamber with applied machined telescopic sight rail, machined blackened alloy side-lever pump-handle mounted to the right hand side, period anatomical right-hand stippled walnut thumbhole half-stock with adjustable comb and rubber recoil-pad (probably by 'CS'), the whole retaining nearly all its original finish and in working order, together with a PAO 3-12x44 telescopic sight.
Provenance: Another casualty of the revolution in air-rifle design at the end of the 20th century, only 178 Air-Logic 'Genesis' air-rifles were produced (this being one of the first) before the re-emergence and subsequent domination of the pre-charged pneumatic-type air rifles caused the company to fold. The rifle suffered from its extreme weight and difficulty to cock as well as its initial purchase price which started at around £625 at time of launch in 1987. They are rarely encountered today
