Cake444 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) I’ve been looking for a light weight, cheapish synthetic air rife to accompany the shotgun when on bushcraft style weeks away. Mainly because cartridges take up a hell of a lot more room/weight than pellets and the air rifle has its advantages with volume (my poor ears). I've always been a fan of BSA and my first gun was a lightning. I went into a local gun store and spotted a BSA Comet in .22. My first thoughts were, wow, perfect a cheap synthetic BSA. Now my thoughts are accompanied by disappointment and that I should have checked it thoroughly before buying. Its basically a gamo, and I don’t really mind that as they do make good stuff, but the thing that bothers me is the plastic gamo barrel mount that fits in the cylinder and jaws the barrel. Also the barrel locking tooth is plastic as well! I would have been content if these two parts were metal as it would have basically been a meteor but it just lets the gun down and makes me question its reliability in the future. Has anybody used this gun for a long time? Anybody know any reviews of what it’s like? I just can’t imagine it surviving any review based on these parts. Thanks again. These are the parts in breakdown, seems like some are gamo and some are BSA. http://www.airgunspares.com/store/category/64/360/BSA/Comet/ Edited May 8, 2012 by Cake444 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
