ANS Gen-X mini cocker?

[oats944]

Hey guys, just trying to figure what I have here. I picked this up on eBay recently. I thought it was just an older pre-2k ANS generation x cocker with a WGP hinge frame and SP barrel. Serial number is 4xxx. The more I looked at it something seemed different. Is this a mini cocker since the vert asa is part of the front block? If so are these rare? Didn’t see many examples in my search on the Goog’s. Thanks!

Very clean looking marker..... I like it..... Yea its a Mini but I have no idea how common they were from ANS

ANS did make the gen X cocker in a mini and that is what you've got. I don't see a significant gain in value because it's a mini.

I like it, very nice, clean build.

Yes its a mini, no idea what that means in terms of value or rarity. Still cool though.

Thanks a lot for confirming guys. I’ve had some regular cockers but never a mini so that’s a nice surprise. I’m going to tell myself it’s rare and valuable so I feel special playing with it lol. At $175 I couldn’t say no. Have a nice weekend all.

Rare or not, still a nice grab at that price. That reg is pretty cool too, something a little unique and different.

Heck that green hinge is uncommon and a worthy pickup by itself. Enjoy all the shootyball you can with that vintage beauty.

Thank you, I had to pull the Vigilante from my pump Rainmaker to get ‘er running and stay period correct. It came with a green gen x-2 reg but the seal in the piston was too far gone. Still researching what I can use to replace that seal.
