Btas
I have an early Fac btas fx cyclone that has served me well for many years.
The hammer Spring snapped on it recently and it turns out to be a non oem part. In fact the Spring, hammer and adjuster are all modified parts.
Btas webpage gives the number tel:01223 20872655
This number has been reallocated to a very grumpy person!
Can anyone tell me how to contact btas?

Ben has Retired .
From another forum
I contacted Ben Taylor today about doing some work on a very early Theoben Sirocco that I have only to receive an email back saying that "As of today I'm retiring, need to make time for other things"
It's a shame but I can't blame him. So all the best in your retirement Ben. :thumb:
That post was from 2014.

So no different from when it was Theobens phone number thenOriginally Posted by putty1
I was under the impression that RAW (Rapid Air Weapons) had some original Theoben parts as they inherited the factory, though I could be wrong.
Good deals with these members

Do you mean Impact airguns? RAW is in the US and if it was something Ben did after the sale of Theoben ,Then neither Impact or RAW would have had any dealing'swith it as its not a Theoben type rifle the OP has . Or I may be wrongSo no different from when it was Theobens phone number then

Ah you know what, I didn't even see the 'fx cyclone bit'.
Get in touch with FX then, would be the best bet.
FWIW I'm sure Impact or RAW has/had access to some OEM Theoben parts.

Impact does have parts but they are hard to get a hold of . Loads of people reporting this . They seem to be active on Facebook though .
He's not the Stig,,,He's the Stig's Welsh cousin
Have a chat to Simon @ the airgun doctor.
He has done a bit of works with btas modified rifles from what I hear, so he may be able to assist you.

Thanks for the replies.
I have been in touch with FX. It was they that pointed out that hammer, Spring and adjuster/guide were non standard. Hence my wanting to contact BT for a Spring.
Could start to be a problem for other BT modified rifles. I thought that BT merely added his reg and stock and gave it a tweak but the bits stated above are not FX.
Guess I'll have to buy the bits to put it back to standard.
The reg has already been replaced with Lane one anyway 👍

I put a Lane antibounce hammer in my S 510 .22 and done away with the BTAS set up, doesn't waste air like it did before. Rog
