Also check the barrel is not clogged up with pellets.

Have come across an old rifle in need of some TLC.
It's got the serial number L13267, and as it's a .177 I'm guessing it's a light pattern rifle.
Everything appears to be there but have to slightly push the trigger forward to cock. However, clearly some issues inside as pellets stay in the barrel 🤣.

Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

I have one and they are lovely to shot and very accurate. Certainly worth sorting out.

Like others have said, worth doing up. The trigger mech probably needs a strip down and relube, or has a broken spring.
