bruno22rf Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Cannot understand why BSA ever stopped making these little gems - with an updated breach to take an O ring, a synthetic piston washer and a scope rail I would seriously consider buying one - far better than 90% of the tat churned out by the majority of modern gun manufacturers.

michufc Posted August 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Yes considering it’s so old it’s a really nice gun and better still it’s still in the family and now my kids are going to get to use it 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
