craig1982 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 There are quite a few nice Supertens for sale. What does it take and what would it cost to get one converted to FAC. Could any RFD do the conversion ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 A quick look online and you can follow videos to do it yourself. Usually just means more tension on the hammer spring and opening up the transfer ports. Wouldn't pay for gunsmith is simple job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 It's better to buy one already fac second hand and sell your 12 ft lb version. Likely you will pocket cash as fac second hand sell for less than 12 ft lb Less buyers you see It's better to buy one already fac second hand and sell your 12 ft lb version.

Longbower Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 FAC selling for less ? Really ? The rarity value alone seems to keep prices high. It took me ages to find one, and my shooting partner has been looking for ages. But only seems to get offered Theoben Rapids for £600 +. If you like and trust the rifle Get a Dealer to upgrade it, (get a receipt for the work), and register it on your ticket ! (Sure and safe). I have an email from my area 'Police firearms department' (Cheshire), stating the process CAN be reversed but ,ONLY if the work is done by a RFD.

Well you are looking in all the wrong places then, I know of a sub £200 Super 10 FAC that needs a new magazine and the regualtor refurbishing, from an RFD too (it was the one I bought at auction that was supposed to be sub 12 and had an Export Only reg in it, it was placed at the nearest RFD for safe storage and has never been collected by the auction house, who I am sure would welcome the chance to be shot of it without getting it collected nearly a year after the event).

I can only tell you how it is you don't have to believe me Why do you think a guy on here was selling a scoped HW 80 for less than £ 100 - because few have unfilled fac air slots! Same gun 12ft lb at double that it would be gone like lighting Fac air is a niche and few with fac actually bother with them Edited April 27, 2016 by kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig1982 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Well whether it be £250 - £500 I have only had one response, That was a FAC Superten with a few accessories for £600. That is Rapid money in my opinion. I will just have to keep looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Craig, dear chap, Ring Holt's Auctioneers up, Lot 2380 from the sale in September 2015, current location St Clements Guns, Norfolk. BSA Super 10 FAC rated (28 ft lb), offer them £150 and I am sure it can be yours! Then all you need to do is have a word with St Clement Guns who does know the inside of a Super 10 and get the reg fixed. Then a magazine, metal ones can be picked up for £25 if you shop hard enough and for under £300 a Super 10 in .22 at 28ft lb will be yours!
