I was given a AG rifle .177 cal  that is several years old. On the rear of the receiver, there is a seal balancing a ball. Can anyone tell me who made it?     Thanks for the help

Is it a break-barrel? Underlever? Sidelever? Inquiring minds want to know.

A break barrel, sealion, .177, no butt plate, a groove running on each side of stock between trigger guard and stock screws, cheap globe front sight. I'm working on posting pictures.

It's a B 2-2 or 2-1, if it has the trip lever for the barrel on the side of the breech block....not sure which factory made them, some were made at the Xisico factory and some at another....there is a quality difference in the two factories, the West Lake model seems to be better than the no name ones...if you need parts let me know...should have almost anything you need....

Do you know if they also made the West Lake version of the rifle? I was told that the factory in Hangzou also made them labeled West Lke...I have both versions and the West Lake is much better quality...

There is another version of the B2-1 but for the life of
me I can't remember its name....westlake could be it..

I have had this rifle since 1989.  I shot over 5000 rounds through it before the spring broke.  I found other B2-'s at a flea market and rebuilt it.  These were well made and very durable.  Mine is still the best plinker I have.  Also shot rabbits, crows and about 150 squrils.(spelling.).  I stripped it down to learn about them.  I now sell lubed tuned versions in canada for $85.00.  Hope you like yours
