Refresh my memory please

Advice from the bsa experts would be appreciated.

My bsa goldstar springer needs an overhaul, do I have to take the trigger group out to get the spring out or only if I need to take the compression sleeve out?

I have never worked on a Goldstar.

I'd have guessed that you would not need to remove the trigger group if just removing the spring and looking at the schematics on the Chambers site would seem to confirm that.

Sure someone else will jump in shortly who has worked on one.

Makes sense. It’s embarrasing because I’ve definitely had a goldstar in bits before but can’t remember clearly. Should have made notes.

Irritating 'cos I can't remember clearly but vague thought that the guide flange may foul sears. Should have pics somewhere. Dim but willing

From memory (and it was a very long time ago) I'm sure you can remove the spring without taking the trigger apart (you may need to hold down the sear) and I'm also sure you can actually take the piston out as well as it is housed in an inner sliding sleeve (like a TX200/Prosport) but I may be wrong.

But don’t you have to mallet off the scope rail?
