RichardJ Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) Hi, just bought my first .22 a BSA SuperSport, please could someone tell me the name of the thing at the end of the barrel (that looks like a silencer) its use and purpose? Also I've noticed it turns / screws around, is there a specific reason for this? Many thanks for any help!! :lol: Edited June 2, 2008 by RichardJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim145 Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 The Supersport Carbine a few years ago had a muzzle weight on the end of the barrel (same as the one fitted to the Goldstar and MK2 Superstar) It shouldn't spin round though, it will have a plug in the end that can be unscrewed and BSA's silencer fitted if required.

*NickH* Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hi Mate Yes that is a barrel weight, It's the same as on my old Supersport Carbine, it shouldnt move round though, is there a grub screw on it? Cant remember if there is just give it a tighten. There will be a plastic cap on the end of the barrel weight (well there was on mine!) unscrew this and as mentioned above it is threaded for a silencer - BSA and a few other companies make them and they are are cheap as chips! Dont expect miracles though as it is a springer so you wont notice much difference at your end. Hope this helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
