New to Me Chinese Air Rifle

[flagger]

I have purchased a Chinese side lever air rifle from a friend of mine.

I have a few questions on this air rifle. I have furnished some pictures for you viewing pleasure.

1. Is this a TF-41? Manufacture?

Serial number is K706125. About how old is this rifle?

1. There is a button on the bottom of the fore stock that seems to move 2 levers in the chamber slightly.

The rifle cocks, fires, and works fine without pressing this button.

Can this button be adjusted to make the levers in the chamber be higher so they catch?

1. There are 2 holes in the top of the barrel

Is this OEM? I am using the small hole as a stop pin hole for the scope.

Can you oil through the larger hole?

1. I have oiled all the pivot points. I have put some Pellgunoil on the seal in the chamber.

What else should you oil and how do you get at those spots?

Do you oil the silver sliding chamber sleave?

1. I see the chamber seal has a nick in it. Is this hard to change out?

Where can you buy parts like this?



I have been using a bent nose tweezer for gently loading the pellet as the larger scope covers part of the loading port. This works well.



I am sure I will have more questions as I move forward using this rifle.

THANK YOU in advance for you answers.

There are several varieties of this rifle. It's similar to the B4-1 a QB88 and others. All medium power sidelevers. The B30 and B40 where the magnums

Welcome and you have a nice little rifle. There used to be a lot of talk about these guns on the forums back in the day. Like Septicdeath said, it's a midpower gun.

The TF should stand for TechForce. They were one of the main Chinese brands about 2 decades ago.

Mine had a leather piston seal. Had to lube it like a baseball glove. But that thing shot well.

Here’s a review of the tf45. Apparently it’s very similar to the tf41.

TS45 bottom and QB88 top. The 41 probably a later variation of the TS-45. The pictured TS45 Is a very early one.
