I remember when, can you help

[jim9547]

When I was a kid my uncle let me use his .22 pellet rifle, it was a big rifle with a pull barrel lock on the left side of the barrel where it breaks for cocking. You pulled the lock then cocked the barrel when you closed the barrel after loading it locked up again. It had decent sights if I remember correctly the front sight had a hood. Anyone have an idea what it could have been. Thanks

There are many guns like you describe....did the mechanism look like this?

 

[jim9547]

yes

Looks just like I remember, you mention many models have that lock but the one in the picture made my brain cells go yep. What is that gun?

found the gun in the picture thanks for the direction. I don't remember if the forestock had a cut out like that. What else has a lock like that?
