The village tip

My shooting partner runs our village tip and from time to time he gets some very useful stuff.  Yesterday was such a day with a chap taking in a large rolled up tank netting parcel which will go onto our new perm for two permanent hides and another chap took in 6, 3 x 3'' powder coated aluminium tubes 48'' long with aluminium end caps so a new set of squirrel feeders will be produced from those.

Today I got a call from Chris to say he had some more stuff.  Well this one is different, he gets quite a few old springers in which he does a bit of reno on but this one is a bit odd to say the least, an SMK rifle with the barrel missing. The model is shown as an XS79CO2-88 so one would assume it is co2 powered BUT there is an air cylinder with a foster type fit fill point on the end of the cylinder. Looking on the web, all I can see is the co2 model and the stock on this is quite different as can be seen in the photos.  My pal would like to possibly get a barrel as a project but as yet I have not checked with any of the spares companies for availability.  I would be interested in any info you guys may have on this unusual gun. 

Also there was a scope with the gun but no idea what make it is, any info again would be nice.

Any information would be most interesting and helpful .

Interesting looking rifle. As others have said seems to have had a bit DIY/custom mods.
