Yours has an adjustable trigger screw in the end cap I seem to remember so may be this was a prototype ?

Thats what I thought Roger but it has the serial number C958.

Afternoon all,

well- I will "come out" and admit to owning three. A '55 deluxe, a'54 (not entirely sure which model though- very basic walnut stock) and an '80.

How many more are out there?

I do know that kevin.ronnie has a few as he was my "main man" when looking around for one and I think he had a '54 for sale recently. Nice chap to deal with by the way.

Strange. Most people on here (who admit to) owning a BSF own 2, 3 or 4+ models of this make.

The B55 is the most archetypal-looking break-barrel in existence. It's the break-barrel's break-barrel - if you could only put one break-barrel springer in an illustrated encyclopedia, it or the S70 would be the one to place.

The S54 is, granted, a minger and a moose. And of course the best looking break-barrel is the BSA Mercury-S, but it is not really representative with that swoopy back-block.

You didn't say that when you was flogging one!

HSING-EE - I think you must include the FWB Sport when you list the best looking break barrel springer.

kevin.ronnie is a great fan of BSF rifles but thinks the stock on the 'delux' B55 makes it look like a Diana G80 and prefers the older smaller slimmer one.

The stock on the BSF S80 had an unusual deep section in front of the trigger guard, functionally like the one on the TX200SR but very odd-looking.

So you get cute ones and ugly ones. The Tyrolean S54 feels good to use but is a bit ungainly.

Had a couple of BSF in the past:-55 and a 70.In answer to somebody question on this thread- beeman Precision Airgun Guide (seventh edition) they only show 1 BSF Wischo (55) in the airgun comparison table (page13) also Wischo Custom match 'cm' pistol on page 52.

Why not post that question in the Collectable airguns forum?

You're more likely to get an answer there.
