    What is the best looking springer WITHOUT the stock

    OK the current best looking springer is the PS but once you remove the stock what spring gun action looks the best in terms of engineering design, robustness, and satisfying just to look at

    I like guns that look both nice on the inside as well as the outside before I want them as keepers

    I dont want much do I LOL.

    Original Model 50. Although some side levers look good out of the stock.

    I love this question. Its got to be one of the best questions ever asked on the BBS
    I'll go for the BSA Mk1 Airsporter. A lovely piece of engineering.

    Double definitely!! The tapered barrel and that superb underlever is a joy and much better than the box section aluminium of the ProSport!!

    I also have to agree with the Airsporter as you still have the beauty of the slopping trigger block and the curved trigger guard in full view.

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

    Yes it's a work of art what can be done with a curtain rail but I prefer something more robust that can be dismantled many times and not locktighting the cylinder linkage bolt
    Apart from that the action is a contender for the best looking action
