You mean a HW35 with a BSA badge and no breech lock?Originally Posted by TonyL
We can only guess at the possible outcome.
One thing I do know, though, is that a modern day Mercury Challenger, built with Weihrauch robustness & solidity, with the beefier HW barrel hinge bolt and Rekord trigger somehow grafted in there (maybe like the Gamos with the sloping end block being just cosmetic) would be a wonderful thing to behold.
BSA Super10 addict, other BSA's inc GoldstarSE, Original (Diana) Mod75's, Diana Mod5, HW80's, SAM 11K... All sorted!

I don't know, I come up with a thought provoking subject for us all to discuss and you just have to go and rub my nose in it like a naughty kitten that's just shit in the cornerDo you think Pete would rumble it?
Of coarse I'm going to notice if a beautiful BSA badge is going to be nailed onto an ugly old 35 ya bloody fools

Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
may also be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocation dingle arm, to reduce sinusoidal repleneration
BSA made an excellent rifle in the SuperStar. With a regular type scope ramp and just a little bit more work on the trigger it could have probably gone head to head with the HW77. But the SuperStar came out years and years too late.
Also, they really messed up not making 'their' version of the ProSport. They abjurred the sliding compression cylinder (although it is an easy OBVIOUS enough steal from the common Feinwerkbau 300 which had been around for AGES, they did not need to research deep into airgun history to find a sliding breech, there were dozens of FWB300s just round the corner at City Air Weapons) and went off down the crazy pathway of a magazine fed springer which no-one outside of Plinkers' Corner wanted and wasted all that development time on the roller-breech and the VS2000 and the Goldstar autoloaded springer, when all they need to have done was copy the best way of getting a cheap consistent scope/barrel alignment and direct-loading breech (i.e. the FWB 300 and HW77 arrangement), make it a under-lever pull-cocker like the Airsporter and Bob's your uncle, BSA have the ProSport 20 years before such a thing was brought out by Air Arms.
They made lots of mistakes with the springers, but I would say they made good with the PCPs. Can't win 'em all.
