The Perfect Break Barrel

Most easily available would be a HW98.

BSA Supersport and have it worked upon would also be easy.

I have seen brummie webleys come up on the sales thread.

I agree in some ways, I have the early British one in mint condition.
its so light, I need to chronograph it and look into work on it to stop the twang.
the later Spanish (I Believe)made one is much heavier and bluing seemed very thin.
interested in anyone who has had the early British one tuned or done it themselves and their thoughts.

Mechanically good Supersports can be VERY nice if set up properly.

My cosmetically challenged early model shoots beautifully, as witnessed by a good few attendees of The Boinger Bash. In .22. Deburred, polished, moly treated, tight fitting Delrin guides and standard spring. That standard spring was gradually shortened over three sessions.......at 14.5 ft.lbs it cocked smoothly and effortlessly and shot very sweetly. Now doing mid-11 with even less cocking effort (full length barrel), very calm firing cycle and fine accuracy. It'll never have the finesse of my HWs, but is a useful, accurate and characterful tool that is a keeper.

LGV 25mm already tuned and once trigger is sorted it is bang on.. much like a venom 80 reduced 25mm but cheaper

I have an early Supersport Custom, which was a special model BSA did, it has the Superstar trigger, barrel hinge bolt and lovely beech stock like what they fitted to the Super/Goldstars with checkering and high cheek piece, I've fitted a true .25 barrel to mine (not the early tight .243 barrels) and just fitted some delrin guides to the original spring, it shoots nice, it still has a bit if recoil and I'm sure it could perform better with a proper tune but I just enjoy shooting it as it is at the moment, I may get it looked at in the future.
