Hi Chaps,
I was thinking about buying a BSA Mercury because I used to have one as a teenager. Mine used to be .22 but now I would buy one in .177 if I could find one, the main reason is that its getting hard to find the old .22. The pellets I used to use where the old Eley in a blue tin.
Has anyone retro fitted a modern .22 barrel to a mercury or even a .20 or .25? I have a few tins of Wolf Gold etc but I want a modern calibre...any suggestions?
