Quackenbush rifle

There were eleven models of the air rifle. The overall line was known for being ornamental and accurate.^[1] The Quackenbush rifles are fairly desirable collector items and sell for several hundred dollars depending on the exact model and the condition.

The "Junior Safety" rifle came with either a fixed wire stock or one that slid forward for use as a "bicycle rifle" nearly identical with the stock later used on the USAF M4 survival rifle. The "bicycle rifle" had a leather or canvas case by which it was able to be attached in three places on a bicycle.^[2] The stock were removed by pulling down on a loop spring.^[3]

The "Safety" rifle was able to fire BB's, short, long, and long rifle projectiles.^[2] The barrel was made from nickel or gun blued steel.^[2]

Quackenbush made gun models were both air gun and firearm; they could shoot .22 caliber, shot, or .21 1/2 projectiles.^[1] The last guns were produced in the late 1940s.^[4]
