    John thanks for posting those pictures, only problem now is that I want one!
    Grenwayjames, hanks too, I remember some of the Webley modifications you could order up along with a new mkIII but ive not seen a list for a BSA equivalent list. Those Mercuries might be rare but I think they were a bit optimistic if they thought they were going to be competitive.

    It may be worth taking a look at what Kempton has to offer next Sunday - I found a Club Mark 2 at the last one.

    I have Target Mercury and swapped the standard 1.1 mm eyepiece for an adjustable one. It made all the difference and now the rifle is as accurate to use as a Webley Supertarget or similar.

    Good luck in finding an aperture sighted Airsporter/Club - you won't regret it!

    I have never seen a list of "extras" for BSAs but if a dealer had the right connections BSA had the skills, back then of course Shooters had an aversion to barrels that moved which went against the Mercury Target.
