Looking for the Oldest Autococker

Painthappy · 04-04-2006, 09:14 PM

In my everlasting search for vintagerex.com -- I'm looking to find out who has the oldest original autococker. I'd like to know what the first serial number for that gun was, and who has it.

But to start... who has the oldest / lowest number?

There's a demo modle (sliced in half lengthwise) I saw at a store that was #90. Then again, I don't know if ALL of the demo modles were #90. But it does look like my really old one, down to the brass pneumatics.

Interesting... Never heard of that. Thanks for that info. Was it a Sniper 1?

They used sniper II bodies to make the autococker, and sniper II's start at serial # 2000 and went up from there... As far as I can gather, the lowest number for stock autocockers are in the high 6000 range.

I'll keep this in mind though.

Nope, it's a sliced autococker. That's why I'm not certian if the cut away demos were numbered on their own.

It looked very similar to the old autococker I have bodywise which is 8495.

I don't know for sure ,but I'm guessing that minicockers didn't follow the same serial number sequence that regular cockers did. Anyway SN: 557, the inline reg and drop were a quick fix from a less worthy donor. Beat to heck when I got it, but shoots great! Grip frame mounting screws (to the body) repaired at least twice.

I think it has to be lower than 6000...
I have an autococker with serial number 4671.
However it is not in any way shape or form of original. Hope this helps, but if not I'm sorry.

It’s going to be hard finding the oldest Autococker by the serial # alone.

A friend of mine bought an Autococker when they were still fairly new, as I recall the serial number was in the low 10,000s.

Keep in mind that when Autocockers first came out, kits to turn Snipers into Autocockers were popular. I don’t know if there is a way to tell a Sniper modifed Autococker from a factory built one.

Mini Cockers have their own numbering schedule. I have a Mini with a 29XX number, and it’s definitely newer than my old sniper that was 53XX.

I have a minicocker serial number #637, but I've gotten conflicting opions on how old it is.

Just got my hands on an unmolested #35135 with 99% original parts pull pin is aftermarket that is it.

i would think you'd have to track down a safe in Bud Orr's house to see the oldest one
