Kassner Firearms - Anyone Know Anything?

Cyrano · 04-18-2008, 06:44 AM

I saw this .22LR at the gun shop the other day. It looks like an AR-15/M-16. It has really good iron sights for plinking, far and away the best of the .22s in the store. The maker is Kassner. The shop wants $300 for it, with one magazine. It's tempting.

The thing is, I can't seem to find out any info on Kassner. Theya re out of business, I think. I checked all the usual sites (Gunbroker.com, Numrich, like that) and they have nothing on Kassner. Before I'd even seriously consider buying it, I'd want at least two spare magazines.

Does anyone know anything about Kassner?

From the blue book:Kassnar imports inc.,Previous importer and distributor located in Harrisburg,Penn..Kassnar Imports operation ceased april,1989. Kassnar also imported Churchill and Omega shotguns which can be found in their individual sections. sam.

I had a Kassnar 20 gauge Over/Under shotgun.. The only thing it would consistenly do is get stuck when attempting to take it off of safety..
It had the selector switch on the safety, so when you took it off, you could pick upper or lower barrel..
Problem was, it would go straight ahead, and you'd end up just yanking on the trigger and watching the pheasant fly away without a shot fired.

I traded it off..

Oh, and it's Kassnar, not Kassner.. That might be the reason you weren't having any luck finding any info.
