    It looks just like any other Goldstar bar the sticker I'm afraid. I did discuss it with Steve Pope and he confirmed they had done a few, they aren't buttoned as the pistons were too hard to work with so it is a polish job with Venom piston seal, spring etc. It is very smooth and pleasant to shoot, but you do have to keep an eye on the power.

    That's a shame was hopping it would look very special as most of they work does

    The one I saw had the typical Venom HW77 style moderator on and had a lovely reblue along with an early style CS800. I’d have snapped it up myself had I saw it first.

    As said they’d work on anything, there were Daystates, Diana’s, BSA’s (even my Relum Tornado was sorted by Dave Pope!) There are also a few BSA Martini .22lr’s knocking around - some beautifully stocked PH fullbore rifles - and before the ban, some lovely TC Contender pistols.
    Put on heading 270, assume attack formation

    That is nice ....and an exact brother (sister i guess) to a Superstar i picked up - same stock same blacked action and slimtech style silencer...no sticker or markings though and unfortunately came fitted with a super harsh gas ram.....Tony at SFS whipped that out and did a tune and i swapped the stock onto my mint (i bought it new) Superstar that Tony had also fettled - was going to sell the 'donor' gun - but it shoots sooooo well i couldn't part with it....

    Venom

    Not sure how the BSA's shot but my Vulcan was lovely to shoot. Just a slight nudge in the shoulder and was doing 11.3 back then. Mach 1.5
