Light, easy to handle vintage junior size rifle. Manufactured 46/59 37.5" long
4.75lbs cal.177. Great back garden plinker. Reasonably accurate. Values appreciating for a good example.
None to speak of, being a vintage model it has no scope rail. No safety catch.
If you are looking for a simple but reliable junior size rifle with a difference
hunt out one of these old beauty's also they are a great rifle to learn the mechanics of the basic air rifle my example cost £40 it needed a complete renovation program which i have just completed, in the process i changed the breech seal, piston washer,main spring, refinished the stock and re blued. I repeated the blueing and varnishing to get the desired affect. She now achieves 1 inch groupings at 10mtrs and with a little fettling the sights are zeroed for the same. And the great bonus is that you will own a small piece of great British air gun history. Incidentally the power output of around 4/5 foot lbs is ideal for back garden shooting.
