Bsa Supersport History and Info (parker hale, bsa lighting)

[lightning22]

I've had a couple of Brummy Lightnings in the past (one was the newer XL model), one of them was SFS tuned with the Superstar trigger conversion and I have to say it was a lovely little rifle, the only thing that let it down was the bland stock, Custom stocks used to supply them for BSA's but not anymore, which is rather stupid considering they still have the info needed for the cutouts.

I'd love a Supersport ss custom but they are like hens teeth.

I emailed CS about a Goldstar stock a while back, whilst they may have the old patterns their manufacturing process has changed apparently and they can’t use the old masters.

I have a slightly mad idea about building a copy router, but have a lot of life to sort out first.

The company went PLC, or more correctly incorporated on 24 March 1986.
According to companies house, if that's of any relevance.

Well if they managed to make new (or convert the old patterns) for HW's (especially the newly brought out 99 stocks) and AA's then I'm sure they could do BSA's, I think they are just making excuses and can't be bothered because they probably wouldn't sell many.

A question on the Supersport:
Was the lettering on the cylinder ever filled with gold paint, like they did on the Meteors?
