Here are some pictures. As you can see some parts at the rear end are missing, and the pump does not go up and down all the way.

I don't think I can come up with parts and I can't really make them myself, especially because I don't know what they look like or what parts are missing, I think I might just auction it off on eBay, does anyone know what one is worth? Also thanks for the help so far.

Sorry, thought you were looking for pistol, (my bad). Yours is missing a lot of critical parts, but, if you have skills you can adapt other parts.

The condition was unknown, however, as I already have a few Challengers in the collection and had recently written about the rifle in the pneumatic pistol article, I thought

well grading is objective as everyone know you finish on the wood, finish on the metal, function and is it complete
it is in the 40-45% maybe i don't grade guns for a living but if it does not function and has parts missing or needed maybe at best it is a parts gun
the unknowns are the problem and the parts are an issue the stock can be repaired and refinished the metal can be reworked to look better
but it is ROUGH and at what point do you go underwater
