Haenel 28 CO2 conversion 

With thanks to Mike. This is for sale on the American Vintage Airguns forum at time of posting.

Mike says he made it around 2000 and adds:

The 28 has everything with it to go back [to a springer]... I can probably cock and shoot the 28 two or three times in the time it takes to cock a standard 28...this is the only 28 I am aware of that’s been converted... Performance... is very near factory…I think the 28 might shoot a little harder than stock.

Haenel 28 CO2 conversion (pair) 

With thanks to Mike. This pair includes the one above.

He says:

Here are 2 model 28 air pistols, complete and working..both have been converted to co2 to make them easier to cock…177 is ok, but I’m not happy with the 22 conversion, and am sick of working on it…
The 22 is a fine specimen, in great condition..the 177 is average. Both can be changed to spring piston again by simply pulling out the co2 stuff and putting the spring and piston back in…
Included is all of the different things I have made and tried to get the 22 working…springs spacers,extra cylinders and valve stems… Again…there are no modifications to either pistol they are as they were made…all I did was make a drop in conversion. I made a shortened front sight for the 177, but the original is included with the package.
