Hey there! I'm looking to talk to someone who has a "talley" airgun. These airguns were sold around 1975 by Simpson Sears and I believe Canadian Tire also sold them. I've been trying to find one for years. Perhaps one of my Canadian fellow airgun enthusiast has heard of this gun ?
Ps - I'm not exactly sure on the spelling but it is either Telley or Tally

Telly Air Rifles
There were two types of Telly rifles distributed in Canada.
-The 422/522 series with a very clubby stock, a 15 3/4" barrel and a double (one inside the other) mainspring.
I have only seen them in .177.
-The 877/822 series with a slender North American style stock with a well defined cheekpiece, butt plate, 19" barrel, and a single mainspring.
I have seen these in both .177 and .22.
They can be found named Artex, Precise, Relum, Taurus, and Telly.
All were made by FEG in Budapest between approximately 1960 and 1978.
They have no real spring guide, just a 1/4" teat on the end plug.
If the teat is cut off, a BSA Meteor guide and mainspring for the Mk1 - Mk5 can be installed to give a nice 6-7 foot pounds.
I usually remove the trigger adjustment screw because it can be set to give a very low, unsafe, sear engagement.
The big design weakness is the poor steel in the front stock mounting.
The screw holes are very easily stripped.
I have not yet found a suitable synthetic replacement for the leather breech seal.
The leather piston seal is rivetted onto the piston and a real chore to make and mount a replacement.
The 422/522 usually sell for 20 - 40 dollars .
The 822/877 sell for up to $80 at gun shows.
