Help with Apache Fireball

[ericclarkbandit]

One of my employee's brought me a rifle that wasn't holding air.  There are no markings on it anywhere, however, after searching the internet I have found it to be an Apache fireball rifle.  This was didused from the pictures and the removable .177 BB insert in the barrel.  That definitely through me for a loop to begin with.

Problem is it won't pump up as someone tried to fix (destroy) the pump cup.  Are there anybody that deals with parts for these or am I on my own for this.  Also I haven't taken the valve out yet.  Anybody have any words of wisdom. 

As you can tell vintage guns are not what I am used to working on.

Ask over on the Vintage forum.  They have some members there who are very knowledgeable when it comes to these.  I would say, however, that parts might be in the way of fabrication.  That or cannibalizing.  I don't believe too many Apaches were made to begin with.
