Hi, Could any one please tell me if any of the other Bsa brake barrels will fit a Spitfire.
Cheers,
Steve.

Yep they should do, it's a generic barrel fitting but check to see if the cocking lever pin hole is in the same place.
You may find the slot under the breech block that the cocking lever sits in may be a different size but the cocking lever ends can be adjusted if needed.

I think the only difference is they were choked, and more accurate than standard. I know the Bisley Spitfire was.

Are we talking about the break barrel Spitfire PCP of 20 years ago ? Think the standard generic break barrel can be fitted, the Spitfire I just sold to gingernut on here is the target model which seems to have a choked barrel. Not sure if the standard BSA break barrel is choked, experts on here will know. These rifles are very accurate used in competitions for quite a while.

I asked the question on here a while ago about removing chokes from barrels and I checked most of my rifles at the time (the break barrels anyway) and a lot of the BSA's seem to have chokes, one of the calibres didn't (I think it was the .25 I can't remember without checking again) but the general consensus was that a choke doesn't really matter and doesn't affect accuracy if removed but does beg the question, why put one on there in the first place if it does?
