Bsf - Bavarian Air-rifles

[Hsing-ee]

This thread is too good to loose in the bilges of the collectors section so I am pumping it back up.

Can anyone remember the hw/bsf hybrid from 1980ish advertised in the early airgun world mags? I'm not talking about the hw85 btw I wonder if any of these are still around.

Well i have one off those.
Its a hybrid off the old mod 55 and parts from Weihrauch.
And what i know they only did this from 85 - 86 maybe a little longer.
They stop when the parts came too an end.

Weihrauch also make the Venom model and its the same with that one, some BSF part and some Weirauch part.

I cant post any picture here so send me an e-mail if you want to see this "new" 55 model.

It has a butchers link pin (bolt) that has gauged the stock, incorrect fastening machine screws, lacking the trigger adjuster and scope mount machine screws, loose front and rear sights. Also someone has sanded the light surface rust but not too nasty-like.

Disregarding that, I still have the biggest smileJJJ

My S70 is seen in the third image -Bavarian S70
Does anyone have the correct procedure to strip this rifle?
The last thing I want to do is screw it up.

I love the BSF brand, I own the following, BSFS20 Standard Pistol in .177, BSF S54 underlever .177, BSF S55 .177 and my BSF S 70 .22 with period Bushnel Scopecheif . Top quality rifles, pity there no longer made.

They are a pretty straight forward rifle to strip but I do recommend the use of a spring compressor.
Also the scope rail must be removed (one screw) for the end plug to be released.

Thanks Ian.
Is the mainspring retained by the round screw block located front of the trigger unit?
Am I able to safely remove the end cap without a big boing!
Using some logic(?); I am looking at it and it appears that I should be following this sequence:
Remove end cap.Is there any load on this cap?
Slide back the scope mount, carefully lift and remove.
Remove trigger unit.
Compress the mainspring, then unscrew the round block/retainer(?).

Well, there you are, at the top of the collectables section
"Idiots guide to classic airgun strips " by ggggr .

I must qualify as the advice was accurate and easy to follow.
Initially I was apprehensive about removing the end cap as I could feel spring pressure on it when loosening off. So, I held a screwdriver blade against the mainspring coil and could not detect movement when unwinding the endcap.Onwards.......
Tomorrow I will complete the strip by adapting an old pipe style sash cramp as a spring compressor.

Thanks for the assistance

Good luck and enjoy.

Sorry Ive only just seen this and Im a bit late but for future reference.

The end cap only retains a trigger spring.
Undoing the 'round screw block located front of the trigger' WILL unleash the main spring pressure which should be done in a spring compressor while at the same time the scope rail, on a key-way must also be removed.
