    Mmmm....really wouldn't know, Pete. I know you mention dimensions etc., but how do those stack up re barrel alignment to the TP and barrel pivot hole? Really not sure. Especially when you consider that the barrel is often a positive point of a BSA anyway.

    Why? I remember plenty of folks fitting BSA barrels to Theoben rifles but never the other way round

    stop making up complicated sh!t

    What problem do you want to solve ? unless it's "how to devalue a theoben barrel AND a BSA supersport at the same time", I'm pretty sure this is the wrong answer
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    I'm trying to give Nick G a melt down
    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    Everybody seems to slate the BSA set up saying they should use a proper breech block like HW do.

    Even Gamo use a proper breech block and they own BSA.

    Pete, I thought fitting a German barrel to you BSA would be against all that you held sacred! Don't do it!!
