BSA Airsporter

[CaptC]

Advice please PW's - First question -  Does anyone know if a silencer can be fitter to an Airsporter (Mk 6 I think but the "GL" is badly stamped) It would need to be a grub screw jobbie?

Second question - Trigger adjustment? It takes two men to pull the trigger, the previous owner fitted new springs and a piston and waiting for the gun to fire is making me flinch! Presume it is the tiny screw in front of the trigger guard?

Many thanks

You can buy a sleeve with a 1/2 x 20 UNF thread, that slips over the barrel and is tightened by grub screws.

Thanks - just reading up about the noise an Airsporter makes. Apparently the mechanism adds to the noise and, of course, is impossible to supress

Trigger should not be heavy, I have a mk6 and the trigger is fine, likely your gun is over spring🤔

Hello, looks like 15.5 mm, so should be an adapter or easy to buy a slip on,

Thank you for the advice. I adjusted the trigger but have now sold the gun. Much appreciated
