Lot 1385:
Description
This Chinese-manufactured air rifle is chambered for .177 caliber pellets and utilizes a spring-piston break-barrel action for cocking and loading. The rifle features a blued finish on the approximately 19-inch barrel and the receiver. It is fitted with a one-piece wooden stock that includes longitudinal finger grooves along the forend for improved grip, a semi-pistol grip, and a textured black buttplate. The sighting system consists of a hooded front post and a tangent-style rear sight that is adjustable for elevation. Verbatim markings on the receiver include the Chinese characters 中国制造 above the English phrase MADE IN CHINA. Additionally, a single capital letter R is marked on the right side of the buttstock. The action appears to function correctly with strong spring tension, though we have not function-tested this rifle for projectile velocity or accuracy.
Condition report:
The blued finish on the barrel and receiver is in good overall condition, showing scattered surface scuffs, light scratches, and minor areas of thinning near the muzzle and pivot point. The wooden stock is well-preserved but displays typical handling marks, minor dings, and surface scratches throughout, with some finish wear around the forend screws. The bore was not inspected internally. The break-barrel action is tight and locks securely into battery when closed.
