    Thanks guys, do you know whereabouts in Hitchin, Letchworth or Baldock? I'll be able to run a google search on the right area then, those will be the most ideal being closer but I think I can make Berkhampsted without my back giving out or within reason to bribe the old man to drive.

    Just googled, and looks like in the 20+ years that I've been away from Stevenage the only one still trading is Park Street Guns near St. Albans/London Colney

    TX200 .177 21mm TL | TX200HC .22 22mm TL | Prosport .22 22mm TL
    HW40 | HW45 | Diana Mod5 | Webley Senior....... Because PCP is like kissing your sister (apparently)

    No worries, I know I didn't remember seeing one when I'd been around there but I thought I'd check in case it was just lurking down a side street, so looks like it's just Ronnie Sunshines and Park Street alongside what there might be at Lea Valley, Cheers Guys.

    Definitely Ronnie Sunshines for airgun stuff as that's their main market. They also have an indoor range which I sometimes use during winter if I want to plink but not be freezing cold.

    Park Street Guns is my local shop and I usually buy my cartridges there. No gunsmith though, so I'd speak to Ladbrook & Langton up the road from there for any gunsmithing requirements. Atkin Grant & Lang in Markyate has a gunsmith as well I think, and it's the best place I've found so far to shoot clays.

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

    Sundon Models in Dunstable is an airgun specialist
    He has repairs done by a very experienced smith

    I will definately have a look as thats not super far as I used to run a delivery route not too far from there, partial to a good model shop too as I've built all sorts over the years.

    if you have your rifle at Lea Valley Dave Mansfield can chrono it for you. What work are you intending on doing to the BSA?
