    Will Park Street chrono my Rifle if I ask them? Just pondering that if I work on the BSA soon.

    Not convinced Park Street have a chrono on site, but they might. Can't say I've ever asked them. I know most of their smithing work goes up the road to the place I mentioned.

    If you do anything to your BSA and want to chrono it, I can do that for you.

    Thank you, was just where Tinbum and Tony said I need to make sure it doesn't breach the limit when the kit goes in.

    Yes it's advisable to test while doing any work. A small change can make quite a difference to power level. With a springer (and especially a budget/BSA one) you'll probably not want it running too near the limit, as they often feel noticeably less pleasant to shoot.

    I was given a Welsh Willy kit with it to learn to work on Air Guns, I think its Spring and guide but will check the pack out to go over what I have.
