Hi, mate.

 

If i remember right, the Ospery's were from the mid 70's to the mid 's but the same basic design lived on for many years as the Tracker.

 

Easy to use, press in the button at the end of the lever, it should then spring gently out an inch or so. Pull it as far back as it will go 'til you hear the trigger engage, close the lever back to where it started.

 

Then open the tap, pop a pellet in, close it and you're ready to shoot. The safety catch is on the back of the action on the left side of the gun, it's a manual safety on those, klick it back for on forward for off.

 

Good old gun, the stock's not standard on the gun in your pics and looks well.

 

Good luck with it, mate.

 

Cheers.
