Can you name every Nelson variant?

[PumpMan10988]

I've been slowly attempting to collect one of every Nelson variant. I found the "Blue Book" spreadsheet from VintageRex and trimmed it down to just the Nelsons. I've added a few lines as well, but I'm hoping the hivemind can help me make this list more complete. Bonus points if you can name the model, manufacturer, and year of release. Pictures get you a virtual gold star. There should be a link to the Google Doc, but here's the list.

An interesting start, but a big nitpick- you have a number of listings that aren't Nelson based. The Brass Eagle Nightmare and Cobras are Crosman valves, the Spotmarker, Rapide and Puma each have valves unique to those guns, and I'm not sure the 707 was made by Nelson. I believe that too was Crosman.

The Model 85 doesn't even have a valve- that fires primer-based cartridges.

That said, that's a great list so far. It's be cool as heck if we could get some photos to go with the listings.

Doc.

Good call out. I included some other 80's to early 90's guns (non-sheridan) I find interesting and/or want to collect.

[DocsMachine]

We need to flesh out Vintage Rex a little more thoroughly...

Doc.

[Pyrate Jim]

Missed Tagline.

[PumpMan10988]

Forgot those are a funky nelson valve! Thanks.

[Ecapnation]

Nightmares aren't nelson based.... Crossman the valves between the bolt and hammer. That also means cobra king cobras are out

Rapides aren't either... The mechanics sre mid valve with fingers that grabs a washer to compress the spring.

Phantom revolutions... Might not be either

[PumpMan10988]

Ah yes, I did leave some of my other "want to own" markers on the list. Removed!

[DocsMachine]

You... don't actually read other replies, do ya 'Cap?

Doc.

[Ecapnation]

No not always sometimes I'm just on the main posts highlights.

[PumpMan10988]

Encouraging that I haven't missed much, even if I did include some non-Nelsons.

[DocsMachine]

Aren't the Vector and AT-85 technically sorta-Nelson valvetrains?

And if we go by the sear being attached to the hammer, it could be argued the Rainmaker is vaguely Nelson based.

Doc.

[Ecapnation]

Gonna be that guy again...

Hammer 3 was a Tippmann style semi, auto hog was an icon clone iirc also not carter, cmi.

The bloodsucker series was late ags not taso

The be90 wss more rapide then Nelson.

Doc, if we're counting stacked weirdos like the vector then sterlings technically too

[PumpMan10988]

It's helpful! I'm more surprised there aren't many obvious omissions.

[Ecapnation]

The uzi pumps were Nelson's....

I don't recall the manufacturer though.

[PumpMan10988]

Darkside! Added

And if we go by the sear being attached to the hammer, it could be argued the Rainmaker is vaguely Nelson based.

I usually call them Sterling-based, to differentiate. Nelson style hammer, but sheridan style bolt. ie rainmaker, vector, sterling, and one of those Kingman hammer guns.

Another odd nelson: LineSI Advantage. Its double action, but the valve-train is definetly nelson. All the wizardry is in the trigger linkage.

What would we call the ICD Puma style guns? Its iinline, but not really crosman or nelson (daisy).
