BSA Goldstar, underlever still accurate

[chrismac]

Hi all, I have just pulled out my old BSA Goldstar and put a few magazines worth of pellets through it and I was to my delight I pleasantly surprised how accurate it still was, its hardly as sweet as my others the HW77 or the S410, but I considering the battering this old gun has had it now deserves the planned work to try and take it back to its former glory by giving the barrel and stock a freshen up. I have just bought a replacement spring, seal and the indexing part for the mag from John Knibbs so will be looking at getting this gun back up to full power again aswell.

A great one time Flagship springer from BSA, I wish you well !

Is it .177 or .22 ?

[WILBA]

They are lovely rifles. I have both the .177cal and .22cal. Although not as refined as a hw77 i still love them for their individuality

[chrismac]

Hi, its the .22,

yes its is not as refined, as you know still nice to shoot.

I might see about a replacement stock if mine wont tidy up, is has a few blemishes on it and in a poor state really.

Have you tried the newer self indexing BSA mags?
They worked well in mine.

The original mags were fiddly, are the new ones any better to load ?
