    I've got a silencer to fit instead if any use ? screws into the factory muzzle weight..
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Hi Jon
    Thanks for the offer mate, I already have the silencer.
    I just got a really nice Superstar carbine in. 25 cal from Dai T 😎, but prefer the look of just the barrel weight.

    Hi Les, glad your happy with her. The barrel cap off a Webley Eclipse and the Meteor will for also fit.When I looked sadly my first ports of call Chambers/Knibbs we’re out of stock. Those other suggestions should broaden you area of search.
    Good luck and enjoy the rifle.
    Cheers

    I have been after a. 25 Superstar for a while, but this one being a carbine is even better.
    It feels like it's had very little use.

    Hi Les, nice purchase !
    I’d be interested to know what pellets it likes being as it’s a “BSA .25” , ie, a .243 ish caliber like so many of their quarter bores of that period ?

    Cheers,
    John.

    Hi John
    Yeah I am well happy with it.
    I haven't done to much pellet testing yet, but H&n Ftt seem to group nicely once I put them through my pellet sizer. It's more for the loading process than anything else.

    I find the Green tin Rhino pellets best in mine. Happily, over 5000 came with the carbine when I bought it. Tried several others and found the most abysmal to be the SMK Victory heavy shock. They don't even fly as true as LG in a 12 bore
