Hello there.
I have a very old air rifle and while trying to paint the wooden stock i lost two of the four screws that hold the mechanism on the stock.
I'm now trying to find some for this rifle but it seems that nobody knows the brand of that rifle.

This rifle seems like it had some kind of label on it but the stock was in very bad shape so it must got cracked or something...

The only code-serial i can find on this rifle is this

So now I'm trying to find two screws.One of them is on the side of the gun and the other one is placed right here:

This screw was some kinf of double screw (one screw inside a bigger one) and the use of that screw was first keeping the mechanism in place with the stock and 2. using it as a safety.

If anybody knows anything about this rifle or where i can find screws like thesePLEASE comment.Thank you in advance!

Not my specialty- but I think you may have an older Slavia, or possibly a Hungarian 'Relum' there. That lock screw on the barrel pivot is identical to something I've fiddled with in years gone by, but I can't remember which, unfortunately.

I was thinking a Relum Telly but the stock must have had some material removed. What I have done to replace screws is since they are usually metric, find the closest size possible and I am not too concerned what type of driver is required then put it in a drill and file the head to match the diameter and head height. If necessary I may cut a new slot with a dremel, then cut threaded part to length and blue.

I thought the action was Relum but the stock does not match.

Eric - a Slavia was my first thought, also. That scalloped barrel pivot screw with a smaller keeper screw looks just like the setup on my 631. However - I'm going to guess Relum.

I'm going with garththomas - a Relum with some stock material removed. The Slavia's and Haenel's that I looked at on Google image search had deeper finger grooves. The Relum's usually have shallow parallel striations that could be easily sanded out. Additionally, the Relum's have that extremely rounded compression tube yoke.

Relum's also have that double rear mounting screw that LGeorge describes:

It looks like the outer screw mounts the action to the stock, and the inner screw is for trigger adjustment. It bears directly on the sear.

If it's the outer screw that you lost, you will probably have to make friends with someone that owns a lathe. For the inner rear (and both front screws) do as garththomas suggested. Instead of a file I use the Dremel to re-shape the screw head while it spins in a drill.

Guys thank you for your answers.
I searched for Relum air rifles pictures and yes it looks like it is a Relum.I saw some pretty similar to mine but most of them had spec Smile

Slavia exactly the outter screw of the double screw mounts the action to the stock and when i tighten the inner screw all the way i couln't arm the rifle.I was able to move the action but not to forearm it.
I don't really care for the inner screw because this screw seems to be there only for using it as safety.
So i will try the Garththomas suggestion on making screws by myself.

Thank you all again!

Edit: YES it's a Relum Telly.This model has the 00001 code one the action Smile
