BSA-airgunner Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 free gun bargain sounds like the barrel has been forced out of line with the rest of the gun so would need to be forced back..............then again its a smk cheap metal and has probably been dropped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesLeic Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 If your dad is mechanically minded he could just replace the oxspring (you will need to build a compress *this is easy*) to try and up the power abit (within the legal limits ofcourse) or you could take it to an rfd for a tune upto legal limit or you can buy a cheap air rifle for 50.00 but if you are going to insist on using it for hunting it MUST be as close to the legal limit of 12 ft lbs as possible or all you will likely do is injure the animal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeon master Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Just throw it away mate, its not worth bothering with, and tell your dad to stop being so tight and get his hand in his pocket!! Wish my two lads were as keen, I offer mine airguns, rimfire's just to get them out...and the anwser I get is " nahh dad cant be bothered" The power of girls and xboxes on teenage lads!!
