Apache Fireball rifle

[holo07]

I got this here on the classified board, took a little work but it’s holding air and shooting with great power. Not to bad for a rifle made in 1948-49 I am shooting #4 buckshot ( #4 buckshot .24 cal.) .. if you have one or a pdf of the owners manual please post pic.

The screw is correct and factory shipped that way.

What kind of power does it have ?

From what I have read just under 700 fps I haven’t pumped it past 6 pumps yet..
