A friend of mine knew the owners and was one of the lucky persons invited into the "Time Capsule". This is a break-open spring piston type with metal sights.
The stock is made of plastic but looks like real wood at a glance. I opened one box to show its contents. I put one together at that time and I do remember there is one plug you need to drill out, per instructions. MADE IN THE GOOD OLE' USA.
One of my purchasers was kind enough to send me pictures he took. Please look at our feedback from other buyers who bought and received this item from us. Shoots both bb's and 177 pellets... I'd use new ones.I hope this BB gun takes some folks down memory lane. I kept them high a dry for over 20 years. As shown the vintage paper inside the closed box faded a bit but readable.
(NOTE) This paragraph came from e-bay's "AI" helper. This vintage Marksman 740 bb gun is a must-have for any collector or enthusiast. Whether you are looking for a unique piece to add to your collection or a functional air rifle for shooting, this item is perfect.
