   Appropriate manual (per your year guess) and parts pdf's can be found

   It claims to have a rifled steel barrel in user manual. I'd try some   
   different pellets, see how they fit. I've accumulated quite a few   
   different brands and styles of .177 pellets. Some fit in the barrel   
   really loose, some snug and others really tight. That's why you try a   
   variety of them in your gun and see what works best with it. It can   
   vary from batch to batch of the same brand/style too🙂️   
      
   Some pellet barrels are choked on their ends too, similar to a shotgun.
