Whats this??

[gumbob]

I have a very tatty looking side lever spring gun in .177. Have no idea what make it is. Its been sprayed with silver paint from end to end and looks terrible. I dont know how to put links to pics on here so if anyone thinks they can help just say the word and I'll send you some pics.

Thanks...Ian

webley tracker?

Nah... This is nowhere near the build quality of a webley. The stock looks like...well....a lump of wood i suppose . With just enough cut away to fit the action in. Very short stroke on the side lever and has an opening breach similar (and i use that term loosely) to a hw97.

Can send you some pics sneaky if you want a look.

Oh..I forgot, it has the worst trigger i have ever seen or used. Takes about 3 stone per square inch of pressure to pull the thing.

The front of the action looks like a diana 48/52

Yeah but the rest of it looks like an old bike thats been pushed into the side of a tree

Is it an EV2 prototype?

I would love to see what that will come up like with some serious TLC!

where did you get it from ????

Belonged to the son of a friend. He didnt trust the lad with it so gave it to me.
Just stripped the paint of it and its much better looking, its not 'good' looking but its certainly 'better'.

Will post a pic without paint later.

Barrel and breach area look like an AAtx200
But that's where the similarity ends

Sure is!!

Spits out biz mags at over 600 fps. Its .177 by the way. With a bit of tlc it might become a decent junior rifle. Its grooved for a scope too.
I'm not one for tinkering with guns. Dont know enough about them TBH. But in the right hands it might make an interesting and unusual project.
