Its quite old and doesn't have it written anywhere on it. It does have a long loading pin though into which the pellets go. From what I can see on the internet pellets are either .22 or .177
I've measured the diameter of the loading pin/magazine and it looks like its about 5mm, which would suggest its a .177 but I want to know for sure before I buy. Any ideas? (OTHER THAN TAKING IT TO A SHOP!!)

Its a break barrel but holds about 20 pellets. Its also quite heavy.

There is a pretty big difference. Is it closer to the size of a BB or a 22 long rifle bullet?
Unless it's a nice/powerful rifle it is likely a 0.177 that is the common size especially for the plinker type air rifles.

Haven't touched any weapons since my time in the military. Suggest you take the loading pin to a gun shop or a surplus store that sells weapons. I know that K Mart used to sell weapons, but the clerks are not always gun savvy.
