Here's mine :D
Diana stormrider. 177 with Tasco 2.5x32 scope
BSA airsporter mk2 .22 1974 with BSA 4x24 scope
The BSA manual and scope packaging were also saved by my father!
Dear manshant,
Could you plz post more closeup shot of BSA AS MK2, am eagerly waiting to watch her beauty closely, cheers!!!
Here are some pictures, sir. Will capture more of the action and trigger mechanism when I'll remove the stock.. thank you so much for the appreciation! Cheers !
The rifle has a self opening tap, automatically opens when the rifle is cocked, has speedy loading therefore compared to other air rifles.
The rear sight has setting for elevation. No setting for windage.
The stock is walnut wood.
Shoots best with 5.6mm pellets, though difficult to source nowadays..
Has original spring.. 32 coil, tried to change but a new 32 coil was too tight for it.. tried after removing two coils, loaded with too much effort.. let the spring compress and set , but changed the whole character of the rifle, changed again to original.
Piston seal changed two times.
Trigger/sear spring changed. All spares sourced from johnknibbs www.airgunspares.com
Sorry if I got into too much detail :P
I get excited to share about the BSA, really close to my heart, shot by 3 generations extensively! made my childhood amazing :D

Happy shooting

GAMO HUNTER EXTREME .177 cal, the one more addition in my collection, the power is good, they claims 1650 Fps for PBA platinum pellets(printed on the rifle), but in JSB heavy diabolo 13.4 gr it gives enough impact, felt little more recoil, need little effort to cocking, grouping ok for the power, more reviews would be appreciated, here some pics,

Yes am really impressed with rifle stock and engraving, Monte Carlo cheek raise , fore arm grip laser checkering ,well balanced artillery hold, little heavy like HATSAN Dominator 200W, deep bluing like Diana 350 magnum, coming with original GAMO 3-9*50 combo scope , Duplex reticle with illuminated Red Dot, selective good quality wood used for stock, its a 2 stage trigger, but second stage is little long, power equal to Diana 460 magnum, shrouded barrel significantly minimizes the loudness.

Hi! Can you crony it if possible? Because there's a huge confusion about its power over internet. Please mention the weight of the pellet too. And add some accuracy pics if possible.

Thanks!
