Anybody owning the subject?
Who knows anything about this brand origin?
And who may sell the parts?
It's a .177 breakbarrel rifle ~580fps with 7.9gr pellets.

Thanks, will try (the gun is not mine, but the repairer will be me, if anybody).
A small correction- yes, there is a double spring, but both are in the same direction.
There are couple other strangnesses in this gun.
The rifling starts in about 1/2" from the breech and pellets loaded fall into the barrel deep enough (the gun is still marked 4.5mm).
It's amaizing that with such dead volume, slightly damaged piston seal and original spring it develops such power (the compressor volume is moderate, looks like Diana 20/24).
Also, there is a gravity sear in the trigger group. It engages during cocking only if the gun is horizontal.
And the piston seal is mostly unusual- plastic 26mm dia with high dome in the middle.
Any idea about what it may worth if I want to buy it?
Not perfect both inside and outside (some rust).

FEG Telly
If the sear is operating by gravity on the FEG air rifle, the trigger spring is improperly installed.
The sear and trigger move together, powered by one spring, similar to the BSA Meteor.
A BSA Meteor spring, or a Macarri Light Tarantula spring will bring the fps up to the mid 600s or better in .177.
The teat has to be cut off the end cap if a conventional rear spring guide is desired.
I have twice put the spring guides inside the FEG pistons which seemed to work well.
I put a floating guide (1/2" nylon rod) in one and it worked well.
I consider them a gun to tinker with and would never pay more than $30 for one.
The threads in the stock screw mounts are usually stripped due probably to inferior quality, too thin, steel. or use of non-metric screws as replacements.

i have one of these old Telly airrifles , it was bought for me 38 years ago at a coles book store when they had a sporting goods dept., mine is in .177 cal., and recently had a new spring put in it , it shoots at 780 f.p.s. using 7.9 grain pellets , it's registered to me , i don't like the gun too much the trigger is a little stiff , but it is pretty accurate , sights aren't great and no scope rails, my Slavia 631 (495 f.p.s. ) is a much easier , and more fun gun to shoot.i think my dad paid $ 12.00 for the Telly , mine has the oringal leather seal , when i was a kid it was good for shooting pop cans at the cottage. don't use it much anymore , regards Joe
