hi, i've got a bsa lightning xl as well and am looking at pcp's.

Logun solo looked good but i've decided on a HW100K with thumhole stock. Yes more money than the AA410 but it's germany's finest engineering and gets right good reports, not to mention 2 magazines, side cocking and the best silencer on the market..gets my vote and my cash!!

Just need a good shooting ground near rochdale to use it on...any help gratefully excepted!! :good:

thanks for the advice.......im still thinking about sticking to a spring gun, i have had six or seven spring guns over the years and found most of them to be very reliable. the only thing im a little concerned with the pre-charged guns are the seals....what kind of maintenance do they need and how often?

Depends on the gun really, the biggest thing you really need someone to do is check the air cylinder internally, ideally annually, for signs of corrosion.

 

You do not want one of those popping on you :blink:

 

I have only ever bought 2 PCP's new from a shop, the same shop actually the Airgun Centre in Rayleigh, Essex. The geezer there offers free service and check-up annually for as long as you own the rifle, I am sure others do similar but I have no experience of them.

 

If it is something that concerns you buying from a dealer who will support his sales would be worth considering.
