Hello gta guys. I've been racking my brain trying to find an airgun I lost in a house fire years ago. It was a .177 breakover springer that did about 475+fps and had a fold-out stock and held 20-25 pellets in a spring fed tube that ran down the top of the rifle. I keep thinking that it was spanish made. taurus, gamo and made in spain are stuck in my head but all 3 of those things may be incorrect. It also had an olive drab composite forestock/pistol-grip and fully adjustable rear sights. It wasn't the most accurate air rifle I've ever owned by far, but it was a lot of fun to shoot and I'd love to find one.( it was great for spring time cottonmouth killin on the bayou). If anyone can aid in this search I'm confident that the gta members and staff can. Ps. I bought it in 1988-1989 if that helps. Ty GTA.

just a guess here but maybe a modified gamomatic they had large tubes on top that held ammo..... i dont think they were sold with fold out stock.....ive seen a few but i think those were aftermarket mods

just double checked the gamo line of rifles
there is the gamomatic but there is also a lesser known 20 shot gamo called the gamo survival or survivor which is almost same as gamomatic with the side folding wire stock

Thanks a bunch guys. Looking it up under gamomatic I was able to find a picture of my old gun. At least one of the pic s was with the foldout stock if anyone has suggestions on the best place to look for something to buy that would be similar, I'd be all ears. Thanks again.

I know exactly what you are talking about, I had one also that was stolen many many years ago. the make and model escapes me also. I may have a picture somewhere I would have to find.the stock was kind of like camo and the forestock had grooves in it running horizontal if memory serves me correct.
