Not sure if this belongs here but didn't know where else to put it. It's more of a spring gun than an airgun but it's so cool. Reminds me of a trench shot gun from WWI. Got it at the flea yesterday. It wouldn't cock and was pretty rusty. I straightened the rods that connect the pump handle to the mainspring and reattached the wing rivet on the mainspring assembly to the cocking arm. Shoots fine now. I also cleaned up the rust a bit. The stock seems to be a nice hardwood....hickory or walnut?? It's a cork repeater. Holds maybe 6 cork balls in a spring fed magazine and shoots as fast as you can cock it. It's marked: "All-Metal Products Co." Wyandotte Mich. I have a crush on it.

Does it shoot cork balls that are about .30 to .38 caliber? I had a cork gun like that when I was a kid.
We lived in Plattsburgh AFB at the time. That was in 1965 when my Father retired from the Air Force.
I use to run around the base housing area with that thing all the time. Like Chuck Conners on "the Rifleman," it never left my side.
I wonder what would happen to a kid with a cork gun in a base housing area today. Don't tell me; I think I know.
I don't know what happened to that gun after we left New York. Maybe it made it's way south to where you are now.
Congrats on the nice purchase.

I think it takes 1/2" cork balls. Looks like it will hold about 6 in a spring fed magazine. I'm going to buy some 1/2" balls for it and see what's what. BTW I live in NY just south of Poughkeepsie.

Nice looking for an older gun.
Great work getting it going again. Should be a lot of fun.
