Crosman 2004 Review

Overall Rating

Accurate when working

Works for a few minutes, then here home the AIR LEAKS......

First of all, It's not a CROSMAN 2004. Whomever inserted that at the top of the page here is clueless. Crosman has nothing to do with this gun. It's put out by MARKSMAN who sticks the BEEMAN name on it!

Marksman 2004/Beeman 2006/Beeman P17
DO NOT BUY!!!
Junk! Garbage! Trash!
Now don ' t get me wrong,. I ' m not one of those grumpy old men who thinks that everything is junk. There are still some real airgun values out there such as the Crosman 1377 and 2240. However, the Marksman 2004 also known as the Beeman P17 or the Beeman 2006 is a junk gun that works for about 10 minutes then starts leaking air from various places. How do I know? I tried several of them from several different stores and the end result is always the same>>>JUNK! I really wanted to own one of these that worked properly. The amount of time effort and money I have spent trying to get one that actually worked for more than 10 minutes has been incredibly exhausting. At this point, I have given up!! How dare SR Insutries who owns Marksman and now the Beeman name put the Beeman name on this junk!. Robert Beeman who stared Beeman airguns was a guy that loved airguns and cared about the quality and his customers. Later in life (I suppose to have some finances for his retirement) he sold his trademarked name BEEMAN to SR Industries who owns Marksman airguns. Now that SR Industries owns the Beeman name, they put the Beeman name on junk guns made in CHINA because they figure when people see the Beeman name that it must be a good gun. What they have done is ruin the Beeman reputation that Robert Beeman worked so hard for decades to establish.

In conclusion, Run, don ' t walk away from this gun. SR Industries should hang their head in shame for how much time, effort and money unsuspecting consumers have wasted on this lovely piece of garbage. If nothing else, I hope all of you have learned some valuable history about the Beeman name.
