Trying to find info for an air gun...

[PARKINGLOT]

My dad has an air rifle in his garage for a while now a friend gave him, he intended to use it for critters and whatnot but I'm not sure it even works. It doesn't say what caliber it is, but it's a break/pump action (when you break it open, you push the barrel down and it pumps it.)
It still makes a decent sounding "pop" when you pull the trigger, so I want to see if I can figure it out. It has a 14" barrel and is just under 36" OAL.

It is probably a .177 cal pellet. Other than that I can not tell you much more.

I would not be dry firing it, you will damage the piston seal. In good condition it should shoot between 300 - 400 FPS.

a very common and inexpensive air rifle widely available starting in the mid 1960's. They ranged in price from $9.49-$11.99 depending on where you bought them.Many songbirds met their end with me at the helm of one of these(unfortunately). My first big game rifle! I think I almost polished the blueing right off it.

Almost certainly .177 caliber. Do not fire the gun without a pellet in it. Dry firing a spring piston air rifle is hazardous to its health. This model was manufactured in the 1970s.
It probably has a leather piston seal that is in dire need of lubrication. As it is a relatively low-powered air rifle, you can use petroleum-based oil that Put a little bit of oil down the transfer port (where the air comes out of the compression tube) and work the action back and forth to get the oil into the seal. Once again, do not dry fire a springer. If you #### it and are unable to shoot a pellet, hold the cocked barrel firmly and press the trigger. Hang on tight as the barrel will be released. Do not fire it when the barrel is open.
