I was offered a deal on a pile of Rochester Air Rifles, so here I go with some more airgun insanity…
Rochester #1. Based on the Crosman 101 but somewhat different…
Somewhat ugly, to my eye.
“ROCHESTER PRECISION AIR RIFLE ROCHESTER NEW YORK”
Hammer setup just like the 101.
The bolt is nice.
Three more Rochesters…
Pile of parts. Before you ask, no I’m not parting any of these out. The plan is to get all four rifles functioning, and possibly a fifth…
Rusty buttplate
All the stocks have splits…
Buttstock removed.
Interesting fiber(?) washer between the head of the stock screw and the stock.
Removing the trigger guard assembly.
Two pieces.
Trigger/sear spring.
Barrel band has two screws on each side.
Removing screws.
The band slides back exposing the pivot pin.
Four screws.
Pushing out the pivot pin.
End plug and pin.
Barrel band just hanging around.
Pump arm and pump plunger removed.
Link pin is riveted and I’m not going to remove it. Notice the lack of a tension spring – none of the rifles had one.
Pushing out the link pin.
Adjustable length pump plunger.
Plunger assembly. I need to make a small spanner (or use snap ring pliers) to get it apart.
Much more to come…

I just got one of these Rochester Air Rifles and i need some help with it, So yeah keep me posted and thanks for the disassembly guide
Nick, I have one of these Rochester Precision air rifles. Did you ever separate the soldered joint? They all have it. On the interesting fiber in the butt stock, I believe this is spare parts for the pump piston.
Thanks for the post.

shows the desoldering.
That's awesome about the washer - didn't even occur to me. I'll have to check and see which guns have it.
I just bought a Rochester just like yours . I was just wondering what the average fps should be and if your not willing to sell parts do you no a place to find parts. thanx josh
bryan and associates.
