I was just given this airgun, from unknown origin, what a P.O.S. I am going to try to get this airgun in decent working order for someone to use. I chronographed it, and it's running around 275 fps. What is it supposed to run? I have no idea. There is virtually no cocking effort, like there is barely a spring there. None the less, it is quite harsh to shoot.
Where can I get parts and diagrams for this turkey? I don't see anything listed on the net, other than selling the complete airgun. Can't be worth much, so there will be a diminishing return on investment. Accuracy is terrible. I looked into the bore, and it is caked with lead. There's my answer to that question. I am hoping that bronze wool will remove the lead. Tried Kroil already with no luck. I do have mercury, but that would be a last resort. I think the Marksman line is a low cost spinoff of Beeman. I believe this airgun is considered a Biathalon trainer for youth. If so, it's training them to be good losers. The airgun seems to have all it's parts.

what if we removed all the warning labels, and let nature take it's course?

330 to350fps is normal, with 7.4 gr. wadcotters. They're pretty accurate little guns.

These were always cheap, entry level rifles, made before Beeman bought Marksman, I think. Agree with Longhunter that they were low power but reasonably accurate.
There was one on Fresno craigslist for a while, guy was asking $20 for it. Similar in condition to yours, sounds like;
