    Smile Can you identify this gun please

    I've just bought this old airgun and there's absolutely no markings other than a serial number....GB15942. It's an underlever with twist to load pellet chamber. No dovetail and the barrel is tapered. It's a lovely old gun.
    Thanks for your help.

    It looks like a BSA Airsporter to me
    If you choke a smurf, what colour does it turn?

    It's a Mk.1 .22 BSA Airsporter dating from 1956 - 1958.

    "GB" prefix on serial number makes it a MK1 according to Chambers Gunmakers website who sell spares

    Thanks for the very fast replies on this one chaps. Another question, what’s it worth, but I must add, it’s NOT for sale, I like it too much to sell it.

    Rob.....just can't part with old airguns.
