    BSA Airsporter copy

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1u7DF70UkR8

    Whilst having a look around on the net looking for info on my recent Sharp Innova copy I came across an interesting video of what I am guessing it's the "factory" where my rifle was built.

    They make break barrels, pump ups, PCPs and what looks like an underlever with sloping back block that is very very Airsporter'ish.

    Check the YouTube video and see what you think. For some reason the info would only page to the top of this post, sorry.

    Wow! That is fantastic. Which ever way you stack it, those chaps are proper bleddy craftsmen. My hat is off to them, and yep, that looks like an Airsporter doppelgänger alright. Thanks for finding and thanks for showing the vid. Atb: G.

    Looks a bit like the early Theoben factory

    Couldn't agree more Gareth.
    These guys have a 'it's not broke, it's fixable' attitude and can make and fix just about anything with the most basic of tools.
    Highly resourceful people.
    I know I made a comment on my Sharp Innova post about a drunk blind man but understand how things are for these guys and honestly wouldn't knock them.

    I did a Web search for BSA Airsporter copy and it looks as though some oh these guns may have made it to the UK as one was sold through The $ale R@om auction site.

    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    I thought the 'Airsporter' trigger and guard were actually more elegant than the original BSA offering
