Looks a little like the an Avenge action. That being said there will be some similarities in a mono block action.

BSA barrel since they're under the same umbrella?

Zelos. You can tune them down 15-24 fpe with a weaker hammer spring and tune them up with the stock HS. C88 machine has weaker hammer spring if you go that route. I have the bottle version M60B with a fx liner in 700mm and 500mm. The 500mm makes it compact and great for shooting in confined spaces.

Are you able to pull the trigger back or go thru the 1st and 2nd stage? If not, maybe the safety is stuck or broken? Not an enviable spot to be in. Might need to take out of the stock and see if you can trip the sear and fire it in a safe direction so it's decocked and you can safely examine...

2nd the Gamo. They have BSA barrels and are super accurate. The small cylinder and low fill pressure are also nice features if you're hand pumping.

Yes, it was quieter.

Reach out to C88 machine. He has a weaker hammer spring that comes with the liner kit but he might sell it to you individually. When I tried it out it was getting 24fpe but I had the reg at 160 and never ran it at a lower reg setting.

Id send Mark Knibbs and email, he may know. Ive never seen or heard of a BSA sidelever. There were some Japanese or Indian made clones or variations of BSA spring guns back in the day and if I had to guess I'd say it's one of those. Happy to be wrong though.

Might check the shuttle area if cleaning barrel doesn't work. It's possible a pellet got snagged when loaded and some lead is stuck in it or the lead in area of the barrel. You can clean the barrel with a worm patch without taking the barrel off. Cock the gun and leave the lever open and insert...

Cooking lever is on the left side side like a Prophet. I'll give AOA a call after the weekend and see what they say about them.

Looks like nice beech. There are a few in walnut but not many. Here's a thread on one. https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/old-school-fwb-124-surprise.732104/

Has anyone seen one of these before? Tried to search for info but couldn't find anything on them or country of origin. I like thr minimalist looks.

Good point. Will likely bite the bullet and try one. If I do I'll post the results

TX200 HC and TM100

I saw them and was tempted with the Beeman Chief trigger. Should work on the QB78/Crosman 160/Gauntlet triggers. Will probably roll the dice.
