Happiness is a BSA Supersport.

That sort of sounds a little sarcastic(I know it isn't) but I can just see you sat there thinking "he's off on one again"

Quite correct, Pete. Not a hint of sarcasm and enjoyed reading that.

Phew! that's a relief, I wouldn't want to think I'm boring you

Just in case you've not seen mine before



If BSA had kept making the Supersport/Lightning like this one, then I'd think they'd still have a good following and a bit more respect.

Looks nice does that, Pete.

I'm downright hopeless at uploading images. When I get some piccies taken of mine, I'll ask my IT guru New Paul if I can e-mail some photos on so that he can post them.

Be warned, though. The "custom" stock is, er, very unique and the 'scope looks hideous with the top turret all skew-whiff and the very individual pressed on white plastic cover on the windage turret!

As I've said before, it has all the hallmarks of a proper "knock-about" gun, but once you've got to know the internals intimately and witnessing how well it shoots, it somehow becomes so much more than that and really something quite special.

I was having a look through some spares today and found a .22 carbine barrel with ZD serial no stamped on it (which makes it a Challenger barrel), gawd knows where that came from but I know what rifle it's going on

Isn't it nice when you re-find such lovely little surprises?

Now, let me guess........

I'll give you a clue......it begins with a 'C'

Actually I've just realised that I can make a Challenger carbine with the proper barrel and serial number

Sorted!

Maybe scope for a slight de-tune also, Pete.
