Other Notes: This rare air-rifle was originally produced in very low numbers by the Colchester Weapons Workshop Ltd between 1989 and 1992. Production and reliability problems led to the manufacture being taken over by Providence Arms Co. in 1992, this being the first rifle of the later manufacture. The majority of the examples (believed less than 50) were sold as 'Beeman Gamekeepers' in the US. The company was wound up in 1997.
