Q:

DAQ .25

A guy on the yellow is going to be selling a .25 DAQ in a few months. I have already expressed interest for those of you that might pee in my cheerios!!! 😛

The gun is not a Knave, but is a .25 carbine based on the .308/.50 platform. It has the rifles trigger rather than using a Crosman grip frame. It has a grade A walnut stock. I don’t know what kind of serial number it’s given or if it were put together entirely by Dennis. Eric Henderson has probably had his hands on it at one time.

Question is, what do you think it would be worth? I’d have to sell stuff off to get it.

Ok, it’s mine either way. He’s agreed to hang onto it until around Christmas when he’s ready to sell. I hope that doesn’t mean “give me time to change my mind.” LoL.

That sounds right to me. He just kind of implied its a carbine .25 he had Dennis make special. It gets like 8 shots at about 50 FPE.

“Be aware this is actaully a .25 Outlaw Pistol I requested that Dennis build me a stock for it so it’d be a carbine.”

But it has the rifles trigger?

Its an Outlaw, and the Knave is the name of the .25 outlaw, just like the Exile is the .308 Outlaw.

Yeah, I wish he still made them. This isn’t a Knave however. Just something else that he/eric/dennis put together. Still think it should bring that market value?

DAQ used to make .25’s

I’d expect it to sell for the same as the .308’s and 50’s on the used market… which seems to be from $1100 – $1300 IIRC. Maybe more with that stock.

Here’s an explanation of the .25 from DAQ site

http://www.quackenbushairguns.com/outlaws.html

quote :

The Knave was a .25 cal. rifle. The rifling twist was made so the rifle could handle the heavier 27-32 gr. pellets. This rifle was capable of launching the 27 gr. pellet nearly 1200 f.p.s. At this velocity, the pellets wouldn’t group 1″ at 100 yards. Accuracy was made right by detuning the rifle (to under 900f.p.s.) for use with pellets or to use solid projectiles by using cast lead firearms bullets. This wasn’t due to the rifling twist, for I tried different twist rates to make sure. I believe that the air blast was so powerful that it distorted the pellet’s skirt. This is another case of not standing still, I was experimenting with a .308 cal. and the .308 caliber’s performance was head and shoulders above the .25’s. The .25 was discontinued in favor of the .308.
