Can any peeps here tell me anything about the Cobra made by BSA ?
I believe .25 only .
Any idea of from when till when made .
Years ago , I came across info that a special custom job had been done on some by the Liverpool pellet makers Camellari ( sorry I think thats spelt wrong ) , called the Cobra Strike (?) based on the same gun ( I think ?) .
Any info appreciated .

No worries J
The Cobra doesn't have the original barrel now. We put a XL tactical barrel on it, as Dave wanted to use it as a ratting gun. It makes it more 'purposeful'

I know of some NIB ones but I bet they are not cheap. I've bought from the collector/dealer and he doesn't give anything away. Send me a line if you have to have one.

is it a side lever?

No, a break barrel. Basically a BSA Mercury.
Didn't Manchester Air Guns produce a Mercury in 4 calibres?
