BSA Mercury Challenger Info Query
Hi all you experts
Always trying to plug the many gaping holes in my knowledge, can anyone throw any light on the production of the Challenger.
I don't see them around much and when I had one from new (gave it away about 8 years ago as a gift to an aspiring airgunner for helping me with tree surgery when I lived in Sussex), I rated it the very best shooting break barrel 0.177 sporter I had. Now, of course, I wish I had kept it but you all know how it goes. It would be nice to find out how much better it could have with a bit of Delrin spring bearing washers, top hat and piston sleeve, since my recollection (always suspect over such a long time period of course!) is that it was damn good anyway.
Was it the subject of a short production run? I bought mine new in Jan 1987 from City Air Weapons in Lincoln (£82.40 posted! the good old days eh! ) so it was current around then.
Nostalgia attack coming on again - anyone know where there is one?
Ah well, back to new love affair with HW95's.
