younggunner122 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Hi all. Ive just bought a BSA Super Ten (the last one ever to be made:D) I want to get it blueprinted By JB. Does anyone know what JB can do to the gun whilst he is blueprinting? I do know that he can alter the Bull Barrel to make it quiter. Does anyone know what else?

beaker Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 sorry if its a stupid question but what is blueprinting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyshooter Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 hi beaker, the expression comes from engineers blue which is used on say a set of engine cases to show up any high spots ,in an airgun it means taking it apart smoothing out any rough bits polishing the internals and generally improving a standard gun and when JB does it you will notice a vast improvement, get it done if you can, regds brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

younggunner122 Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 hey all good advice. If your looking to get it done deffinately give John Knibbs International a ring, there also known as the country store. They are brilliant, they are the #1 for BSA spares and most other spares too.

Yes, Sort's out All the Mass production problems And gives you better shot and accuracy than before I have a Blue Printed Scorpion Rifle in .177 Used as a Club Gun for New Shooters Even though many have gone out and brought their own They keep trying to borrowing my Club one BOB/R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigeon Popper Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 So do all of the serious HFT and FT competitors get their rifles 'Tenched' or 'Blue-Printed'? To be honest I would have thought that when you pay > £500 for a rifle, that you could expect it to be shooting at its best pretty much straight out of the box...

jacksdad Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Blueprinting car engines is another job well done! You check every single part is exactly spot on, not even 'just' within the allowed tolerances, that way the machine runs as perfectly as is possible without doing extra tuning work, often not allowed in racing. Then all the bits are cleaned, deburred, polished and so on until its giving the max power possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Personally, unless I was taking part in HFT and was already a superb shot on the cutting edge of my game I wouldn't bother spending the money. You're unlikely to notice any improvement if you're an average shooter. Having a rifle 'blue printed' won't transform an average shot into a good one, but you spends your money...

I agree with you on this, but from personal experience the R10 needs to be blueprinted just to get it to a workable standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duncan Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I've heard nothing but good about John Bowkett, but then again, if you'd have bought a Weihrauch a blueprint wouldn't be necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
