Just got this nice pair.I lubricated them a little, they were completely dry, but they shoot very accurately.

Again WOW! Can you share a bit of the hisrory of these rifles? Where have they been and how did you acquire them? Orv.Wow! Terrific condition! Nice piece of history. I remember seeing Czech springers for sale in our local sports store in the mid 60's in NY. Probably one of those.![]()
Bought them at a auction, have no idea about their history. Slavia 620 price $200. 624 was $150, not cheap.Again WOW! Can you share a bit of the hisrory of these rifles? Where have they been and how did you acquire them? Orv.
The Slavia 624 has a two-inch longer barrel and an inch longer stock. The compressor and piston is the same as the 618.The Slavia 624 looks like the 618 (.177 ) that I have had since about 1958 or 1958. It still functions well, although it falls short (literally) of the .22 PCPs on 160 meter silhouettes.
I'm very jealous.
Yes I know these rifles are not found in the US but these 2 were sold in the US. No they are not from Europe. I have seen them sometimes at auctions in Canada as well.i saw this post earlier and the first thing i did was look in the Blue Book and neither of the rifle was listed and then i when to Waffencenter in Germany and only one was listed
and that makes me wonder, were these bought back from Europe at some point and never imported
Mine was purchased in Canada, but too long ago to recall the circumstances. It was probably a gift from my father 65-odd years ago.Yes I know these rifles are not found in the US but these 2 were sold in the US. No they are not from Europe. I have seen them sometimes at auctions in Canada as well.
"compressor"? I suspect a translation issue as I don't understand the term "compressor" as applied to a spring gun.The Slavia 624 has a two-inch longer barrel and an inch longer stock. The compressor and piston is the same as the 618.
No, it's not a translation problem, the forum is international, in many countries this tube is called a compressor, it would probably be correct to call it a pump, but it was not my idea to call it a compressor .

Could it be what we call the cylinder, the tube in which the piston acts?
Apologies if this appears to be impolite as that is not my intention.
Thank-you for the information.
Here you will probably find a lot of new things for yourself.okay
so, if the rifle were sold in any numbers say in the 1960's i would have thought the Blue Book would have them in it
my point about Europe was someone bought them back, say a military man or woman
it really doesn't matter most of the Slavia's are very similar till the 634 came along
I didn't say that it was your idea to call it that, why are you making this adversarial?No, it's not a translation problem, the forum is international, in many countries this tube is called a compressor, it would probably be correct to call it a pump, but it was not my idea to call it a compressor .
