No, that's a myth from what I've read. It might have a smooth bore. I
don't know about this particular Crosman...
Appropriate manual (per your year guess) and parts pdf's can be found
here:

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.
I have several different pellets/manufacturers . I'll measure some and see if any particular brand runs slightly larger . The barrel is rifled , but I can't tell what shape the rifling is . I'll do some accuracy testing once I get it shooting well .
