JB said it was Sussex Armoury produced the rifles. Most of the components being made on the local trading estate. He said quick fixes have to be carried out otherwise production is expensive. Like most .22" taploaders maximum power and soft shooting was only achieved using the contemporary Eley Wasp. Just the same as an Airsporter I used to have. BSA sold a little kit to expand the skirts of Wasps to get maximum power out of their S models. It made an enormous difference to the shooting characteristics.Originally Posted by MattyBoy
I have 3 Jackal Branded guns and they are not as nice to shoot as the later AA Branded guns. Perhaps this is why they do not easily make power above 10 ft lb?
Why NSP thought it was OK to enlarge the tap hole thus allowing blow-by is beyond me!
I shall be measuring the loading apertures now - may have to go down the brass sleeving route to get any oversized ones back to 5.52/53 or whatever is correct.
