The Lightenings are pigs
I had an original Brummie 22 one - years back
It was tuned by Sporting Supplies ( Shaun ISP)
Ot was impossible to get it to stay over 10.5 ftlb
It snapped the stock bolts (notoriously soft and prone to that)
Shite trigger
The barrel was great and very unfussy .....
Like everyone has said the Webley Exocet etc much better
Or just buy an hw 95 which now have short barrels as a factory option
People have put better reports on here about the latest gas ram BSA’s - I cantycomment as no experience
I remember various Lightenings turning up at a club I attended for years, always inexperienced shooters.
No one could ever shoot them. The 177 is massively oversprung
If you have one a 10ftlb plinker/ ratter in 22 is as good as it gets from the original ones
Looking for TO-6 Trigger unit unmessed with or T0-6 kit for 34
