Bsa Supersport History and Info (parker hale, bsa lighting)

And the Brocock Independent?.

The Independant is basically a Gamo with a BSA barrel and fancy walnut/beech stock, nothing like the Supersport, even the breech block is different.

Ah,I remember trying one out and being less than impressed.

The trigger in particular,horrible,stiff,and with little, if any first stage movement.

Very true, mine needed a decent tune to be usable, Gamo triggers have nearly always been bad but the one on my Independent is actually pretty good after I lightened the trigger spring.

Amazing post Andy.
I had a Striker in .22 for a while and I thought it a rather good little gun.

Nice write up, many thanks for posting.

I've had a couple of Brummy Lightnings in the past (one was the newer XL model), one of them was SFS tuned with the Superstar trigger conversion and I have to say it was a lovely little rifle, the only thing that let it down was the bland stock, Custom stocks used to supply them for BSA's but not anymore, which is rather stupid considering they still have the info needed for the cutouts.

I'd love a Supersport ss custom but they are like hens teeth.

What a great post! Thanks for all the info, I love my little Supersport Carbine; basic open sights, light as a feather and decent power. It's loads of fun and a cracking little rifle. Oh and it's a 1996 Brummie made rifle, pre-maxi grip!

I emailed CS about a Goldstar stock a while back, whilst they may have the old patterns their manufacturing process has changed apparently and they can’t use the old masters.

I have a slightly mad idea about building a copy router, but have a lot of life to sort out first.
