I wanted to clean up the little bb gun, so I removed the plastic stock and found a couple of broken pieces of plastic on the inside. I can't believe the pieces had not been lost over the years. The stock had always been a little loose, probably because of the broken plastic. I used some epoxy and fixed the pieces back how they were supposed to be and after about 24 hours of curing, I put it all back together and the stock is now tightly affixed to the body of the gun. While I had it apart, I lightly polished the silver body of the gun. I didn't want to overdo it as I wanted to keep the character of the gun intact. The butt end of the stock has some missing material and I had thought about filling it in with some black epoxy, but I decided not to do it in order to keep the patina of this well used bb gun intact. I still have been unsuccessful in finding any information about this make and model of bb gun. All I know is that it is older than me, so yeah, it's pretty old. Hopefully, it will be around for at least another 60 years or so.
