Hi, ive had my 1980's Bsa Mercury S .177 for some years now and its hardly been used tbh, im keen on getting it serviced/tuned.

have you tried the gun shop in the pantiles Tunbridge wells.

[jazzeh]

Re. Pantiles gun shop. Actually no I haven't. Would you recommend them please? Are they competent? Thanks for your reply. Jazzeh

I had a Webly service repaired by them,it was a bit slow in being done,but OK,they are mainly a shotgun dealers, airgun repairs are not done on site so getting a price takes a while.

they are the easiest of guns to service yourself,t robb who is not that far from you has all you would need,his shop also sells tuning parts and his site has a lot of mercury info,all the best

Welsh willy just tuned my Mercury challenger shoots really nicely

agree, saw the gun and how it performed on test at Wills, now yet another Bsa I fancy- one day

I agree posting is an issue I sent mine Parcel force 48 hours to Welsh Willy , I know they dont like PCP as they are a pressurized container. I have in past gone to post office declared sending a air rifle and had staff shout out " man here trying to send a gun (bit embarrassing) they still accepted just let every one in post office know I own a air rifle so know when asked what you sending usually its fishing tackle /rods or a umbrella stand !!
Another way is to send from yiour local gun shop (you would have to pay a 15 pound or so charge in addition to postage and get tuner to post back parcel force which is ok for them to do.

I can recommend Will heres my Mercury tuned


Heres my first 10-11 yard group after zero should get better as gun and user get run in !!, quite happy with it though good for a older springer



Ive had a couple of springers tuned by various companies and they were all improved no end. Mike Upton at Airgun tune , Dorset used to do springers , not sure if he dose now , he was good and Sandwell field sports did a tune on a Diana 280 K i had transformed the rifle so I would happily recommend the three mentioned

[jazzeh]

Nice one guy's. I will give it lots of thought. Thanks so much, I'm really getting to like being here

i can see that you really do want the best out of your guns but could you give a ball park figure of how much it all costs inc tune,post and transfers etc?,i'm interested as i would be hesitant on spending more on a rifle than its might be worth,maybe an upgrade to a newer/improved model would be an option,all the best
