Lark BB Gun
I purchased a Lark M19-A bb machine gun around 1986, shot it a couple of times, and its been sitting in a box ever since. Just uncovered it while cleaning out. Does anyone know if Lark is still in business, and regardless, if there is a resale market for these guns? Mine is pretty much mint shape, all documentation & parts, and in original box. Thanks, Mark.

I have not thought about these for a LONG time. If I can recall these BB machineguns were sold by Larc International of Miami. The M19A was the updated version with a removable shoulder stock and a vented barrel Shroud. Although there were adaptors available to allow you connect the gun to an air compressor (not very handy to drag 100 feet of hose around with the gun), these Larc's were intended to use the old 1 pound cans of compressed freon; which used to be really cheap and easy to find. I would imagine that the current variety of freon could still allow the gun to function but this stuff is not so inexpensive now a days. Back in 1979 a New Larc retailed for $36 but I have no idea what one would sell for today. Put it on auction and you'll find out pretty quickly what it may be worth.

I've got a new one in the box but it's missing the compressed air fitting.Anyone know where i can find one? The freon can adapter allows for short burst fire before the barrel freezes up and you have to wait till it thaws out.Liquid graphite in the magazine keeps the BB's moving into the barrel.Lots of fun at 3000 rpm. 0 -
Had the old phone number for Lark and tried to call them several years ago. Alas, to no avail. Sure would like to find a way to shoot mine again. And again, if anyone knows how or where to get the air compressor attachment, let us know.
Thanks.0 -

They might have what you are looking for and if not they should know who does have it. I have been needing some 5mm (20cal) round BBs and they are the only ones that had them. Contact them as to your needs. Hope this helps.0 -
