No Name Air Rifle

I have a friend who gave me this air rifle to find out some information on it. There are no markings on it, not even caliber. Which brings me here. Would any of you happen to know anything about it? I'm guessing it was a generic air rifle from back in the day. Thanks fellows!

Hawk Carse

I would say from the Engrish label that it is an inexpensive Chinese copy of a Diana. Sold cheap without even bothering to apply an importer or dealer's trademark.

They had them at tool sales here plain Jane boxes 20.00 about 15-20 years ago. Mine is a 177

Agree with Hawk.

Looks like a low end Chinese-made barrel cocking air rifle.

Before the days when you could buy affordable good quality branded spring piston air guns at the sporting good stores, these generic were imported by the crateful.

Most of these were in .177, and yours probably is. The easiest way to know is just to crack it open and look at the breech. If a .177 pellet fits in there snugly, that's what you have. If its a .22, then the .177 pellet will just fall through the barrel.

Assuming it functions, you probably shouldn't expect more than a leisurely 500fps out of the gun. Value. . .eh. . .maybe $30-40.

As to brand/location of manufacture, that's a bit tougher. There are and were a bunch of manufacturers of these over the years. Norinco has/had some models that looked like that maybe that's what yours is. . .don't know.

EG, Norinco B2:
