mel b3 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 hiya fellas, at work today i was given an old airgun that one of the lads had found , i was pretty sure that it was a relum when i saw it and ive done a bit of searching and now im even more sure. its marked , made in hungary and the serial number looks like 87681. would anyone have any idea of the model or age please gents?. the gun looks to have been in its original box and it also looks like it hasnt really been used , the spring certainly still feels very strong , the stock is in very good original condition for on old gun but the metal work is very rusty and the pitting seems quite bad especially underneath the barrel. thanks in anticipation fellas , mel .

fenboy Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I think they were made by FEG and sold under several different brand names relum being just one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I had one of those in 1976-its a Relum Telly or T200 or T100 depending on calibre I seem to recall-I had both and the .177 version really taught me the advantages of the smaller calibre. Must admit that I poached many rabbits with both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbaz Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Yep It's a Telly (or Jelly as they spelled it wrong on the badges!! Here'sd mine with a darker stock To tackle the rust, get some wire wool, soak it in oil then rub at the rust- it'll make a big improvement Nice find B) John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel b3 Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 thanks again for the info fellas , myself and my lad had a plinking session in the garden yesterday , it brought back a few memories of years gone by , apart from pistol shooting , i think its the first time that ive used open sights in about 30 yrs , obviously my shooting is still far superior to the whipper snapper (but he was worryingly close) . has anyone got any idea of the age of the gun from the serial number ?. cheers , mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenj Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I still have my Relum Z11, that I bought in the early 60's. I changed the spring some years ago, which I had to cut down to fit. I've had various sights on it, both red dot and teles, but have gone back to open sights. It is still very accurate and has earned it's keep keeping down the squirrel, rat and pigeon populations over the years. This is my blog review. http://www.urbanfieldsportsman.com/index.php/the-rifles-cz-relum-177-springer/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike737 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I have one, a .22, serial number 81699, bought in about 1974 from Kay's Catalogue. Don't know if that helps you with aging yours... Tested on chrono recently at 9.5, so not bad for an old one! Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenj Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 When I tested my 60's .177 Relum springer, it was giving 9.8 ft/lb with Accupel flat heads. More than enough for pigeons at 25 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel b3 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 That sounds very promising kenj, it might become my new feral pigeon gun for inside barns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 My father bought a Jelly pellet rifle in 1965, and it is still in use daily. The main spring need to be replaced, so what is the best main spring for it? I got a problem with some very big rats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
