    Question Bsa Superstar service?

    Hopefully getting a MK1 BSA SUPERSTAR .22 very soon......

    Thought i'd ask who can service them - replace seals/spring/guides/install tuning kits etc.....

    Cheers

    Have heard you have to remove the scope rail to get the piston and rotating breech out to change the seals....

    Don't fancy attempting that!

    Just done a similar one, i held the gun up-side down an using two blocks of real hard wood (one on top of the other) (to give plenty clearance) knocked the rail till it came away, this is of-course after un-doing the bolt at the back of the rail,, was quite easy.

    Agree - angry man, pissy bit of steel, big mallet, thin steel tube = something is going to end up oval

    Surely that sort of thing doesn't happen in your fully kitted out and carpeted workshop

    The carpet is there to reduce the sound of difficult guns impacting with the floor......
