Capybara:
I know what it is. Hint: it's not a firearm, CSA posted it in the .net forum.

What enbloc clips are you using? Some are known to have problems.

They are both stamped "CMP 3"
The thing is, the first 16 rounds that were pre loaded by the seller all fired without incident. Is it possible I messed something up when I loaded the rounds into the clip and then the clip into the rifle?

the CMP clips are for sure the ones the seller pre-loaded? they have a mixed reputation.
when loading clips, I put 7 cartridges in and then rock them up and down while pushing them in to fully seat. the case heads should be touching the rearmost part of the clip. and I always arrange so the top round is on the right.

Before that one, I picked up these:

Is that an air rifle?
Nice cuff links, do you have any ammo for them?

I assume from the construction it is some type of antique air rifle, but I'd still like to know what it is, and how it is charged.
