    Intro

    Just thought I would introduce myself, name is nick, I'm a BASC air gun instructor/coach and have used air rifles for the last 37 years, I have a nice collection of BSA Airsporters and some other classics but I'm really only into Airsporters, I restore classic air rifles and firearms and I'm an instructor and gunsmith for field sport Uk in the midlands. Instructing air guns and shot guns.

    Welcome to the BBS Nick

    I'm not too far from you as I'm just on the Nuneaton side of Bosworth.


    All the best Mick

    Hi Simmo

    If you fancy a day out to meet a few of the other members from the BBS you'll find details of the Spring Gun gathering I'm holding on June 7th, in my signature below.

    Hi Nick and another welcome from someone who shares your love of Airsporters Mk1s - Mk7s and all in between!
    There will never be another air rifle to replace it in the history of shooting.

    Hi Airsporterman
    You haven't got a MKVII you want rid of have you
    Just need that to make my collection of Standard 22 Airsporters complete, i.e MKI to MKVII, then I think I'm stopping buying

    Do you show any love for the Mercury?

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    welcome to the forum mate
    Hi Donald

    My big tub of Ammonium Chloride arrived yesterday so I'm off out to the workshop now to rust something --- I'll let you know how I get on.
