It is a shame Airgunaid didn't make more of the completely new guts fitted to the SP5. As far as I remember, it came out and everyone assumed it was 'just' a G80 with a lube job and a .20 barrel fitted. Rod Lynton's article didn't seem to mention the extensive internal work and when we saw the power at 10.5 everyone lost interest. It HAD to be 11.9 in those days for a 'top gun'.Originally Posted by BTDT
The SP-5 was the first British air rifle conversion and, as such, has an important place in modern airgun history.
Look forward to the article.
