Looks to me to be a gamo expo an older one
Hi I'm trying to ID an old rifle i had as a kid so I can see if i can bring new life to it.
It's a El Gamo rifle in .22 springer probably about twenty years old. Trying to locate some parts so i can restore it to it's former glory.

ASI Sniper
Hi, been looking at exploded diagrams on T.W Chambers looks like it could be the ASI Sniper.
Thanks for help Nathan
Looking at it in my John Walter airgun book.. Lifted the followingtext:
OO Modelo Expo or 200 (Asl sniper
The handy, well-balanced Expo 200. widely
distributed outside Spain, was developed in
the 1960s. t offers reasonable quality at

sophisticated. The cocking lever is
articulated, the trigger a rather coarse two-
stage design adjustable for travel but not
pull weight which is set at 7-11b

spring leaf back sight, complementing the
hooded blade, is controlled by very clearly
graduated plastic discs. The beech stock
displays good external finish but less
impressive netting, newer stocks have a
cheekpiece, in addition to the black plastic
butt-plate, and a plain rather than grooved
fore-end. The trigger guard is an
unattractive moulding and the trigger

Hi,
It's not a Sniper which was a completely different looking (I am being polite) air rifle. I can remember being asked to repair a Sniper in '73 or '74 and refusing after stripping it down. I think this was part of the range and so it dates from the late 60's. or early 70's.

GOOD DEALS...Here,post 6404
They were still making the sniper in the late 70s I remember seeing them in the ads in AGW,my money's still on it being a sniper.
From memory I'd hazard a guess at it being a Sniper, too.
THE BOINGER BASH AT QUIGLEY HOLLOW. MAKING GREAT MEMORIES SINCE 15th JUNE, 2013.
NEXT EVENT :- August 3/4, 2024.........BOING!!
Thanks for all the posts from the diagrams and pics I've seen I'd say it's a sniper/expo so I'll be ordering parts for it. New spring breech seal and piston seal. Already sanded the stock ready for a new coat of varnish. Should have good as new shortly.
Cheers Nathan
Hi,
Well, to this old git the botom one of the four shown in someone's photo is a Sniper. I've spent some time looking for ASI's files but guess I threw them out, because I'm sure I had a 4 page brochure showing it as a Sniper...
Regards, David
Hi, just wondering if anyone has ever replaced a piston seal on a sniper i ordered one from Chambers and it's a little different to the old one. Heres a pic of the two.
