this lead free pellets are probably made of tin and work in this gun like they are but they are expensive too I assume.

I expect they would be in the $10.00 to $12.00 US range for 150 pellets. In Canada most of the lead Predators, are $18.99 per 150.
My Canadian sources don't have allow .25's that I've found.
I think they are made in the Czech Republic.

meanwhile I was able to get some samples of original bullets
it will probably end with swaging 22 pellets into 6,3 mm cup slugs with the rock chucker
other have done this before like here for a special 6mm airgun but using only a hammer
so its not a rocket science

got another Bügelspanner today
lots of work but possible to restore, no markings beside of a "79". something broken inside but welding will bring this back to live. probably came from schweden where this airguns were very popular and called "Tivoligevär" after the danish Tivoli amusement park in Kopenhagen which became a synonymous for funfair in scandinavia.
a bullet came out with 6,20 mm so this is not the more common 6 1/3 but a 6,2
here in the 1955 RWS catatalog
reason for this caliber problem: in the old days you had such airguns in pups and you buy the airgun pellets from the barkeeper. to bring not your own pellets from home they had such special caliber you got only there.

bought another Bügelspanner airgun because it should be a 4,5 mm so common airgun pellets can be used.
in the end it was not a 4,5 mm but something unknown, barrel is smooth with a 5,12mm diameter. I hope 5mm airgun bullets can be used for this gun.
Its an unidentified maker, not Oskar Will and not Manteufel, we will see

Unusual piece Lancaster!
What would its age be, considering that air guns have been around for centuries?
