BSF B55 what are they like?

[MrGreengrass]

Agreed but the '35 is a well built but heavy beast and the 'Sport has a couple of flaws (cracking stock, barrel lock up, plastic rear sight).

Horses for courses.

Agree, but every gun had flaws from that era.ol.
My 35 breech lockup ate its way into the cylinder and
the 124 used to puff out of the breech a bit.
BSF bluing wore out real quick on my S70, B55 and the 54
i had was no better than a Relum Tornado plus the triggers were pretty horrible, slightly better than a Vulcan though.
The trigger on my S200 and the often slated Rapid gamo unit feel like state of the art Olympic match units in comparison to some of the older guns...bar the 35.

Let’s not start on the 54, which is a dog.

I'm afraid to say that I quite like them.

Very Hungarian Swamp Donkey esque.

Like many have said previously in this thread, they are compact, powerful, and overrated. Plus their sights tend to break.
They are not a gun to buy if you are looking for something to shoot a lot, but they are nice in their own way, and a historical reference that is worth to own if you are into springer mechanics.
