Hello MCB
Now Vintagerex is out, we lost a good way to ID different models.
I put together this for myself over the years (lots of it came from Vintagerex), thought you might like it.
I only uploaded 1 “picture” per gun, sometime is just a picture, sometime an add, I tried to get something interesting that would also show the gun enough to ID it.
This is not in a chronological order, but rather a “logical” order.
If you have add scans (I love those), articles (I love those too), more/better info or better pictures, feel free to send them to me, I may put them up. We are limited to 5 pictures per post, so there will be a few post to get them (or most of them) up.
K & K1 (Rifle)
year: 1985
14 round side tube
This gun is easily recognized with it's right-hand-side bolt action, and long rifle stock that extending almost all the way down the barrel.
The original K series rifle used dual CO2 cartridges. The first cartridge would go in nose down as the current K2 does. Then a second CO2 would be inserted in backwards. This would allow for two CO2 cartridges to be used. This version was problem-matic and could not be easily depressurized, and would not pierce the cartridges at times.
The original K series and K1 used this dual cartridge setup, but eventually gave way to the single cartridge in the K2.

KP-2
year: ???
KP-2 DF
year: 1988
This was basically a direct feed version of the KP-2. The KP-2 DF can be differentiated from the KP-3 by the length of the lower tube.
The lower tube on the KP-2 DF version is almost the same length as the barrel, where as the KP-3 bottom tube is significantly shorter.
KP-2 Long Rifle
year: 1986
Prototype, factory custom or very very low production?
KP-3
year: 1989
The KP-3, was better known as the Pirhana Rifle at the time. Sheridan was bought out by PMI, and took on many of the PMI names.
The KP-3 can be recognized from a KP2-DF by the lower tube. The lower tube on a KP-3 is shorter, while then KP2-DF's lower tube is almost the same length as the top tube.
