SO I took my son to a gun show and he had me buy a Chinese air rifle that someone had mounted a BSA variable AO scope on. They were asking about what I thought the scope might be worth assuming it worked, so I figured what the heck.
It is one of the under levers I saw back in the 90's or so and basically has no identifiable markings, maybe if I could read one of the Chinese languages it would, but I don't.
This is an adult sized air rifle in 4.5/.177. It features an under lever that snaps into a two fingered steel clip under the barrel and a huge chamber opens at full cock. I suspect the BSA scope was added just to sell the thing as the Objective interfears with an adult loading the thing and it is hard for The Boy to do so.
Anyone know where we might find some info on these30-40 year old air guns? I would like to know for instance if there was some sort of seal between the "bolt" and barrel. Currently the velocity with lead diablo flat points (ancient crossmans from the sliding top tin can) is "goes through both sides of an unopened Diet Rite cola can from side to side at 10 yards". I figured his first shots should be reactive targets and a shook up hot soda is pretty reactive.
Soon as I find a camera in the house that does not geo tag I will see if I can photograph the thing and try to post.
