    Smile Vintage bsa

    Hello again, Thanks again for your wise words. I have ordered new springs. The ones that were in it were not oppositly wound so they are not correct for it . My intention is to get a rabbit for the kitchen with it . When sorted I think it will be up to that . Thanks again John.....

    Vintage BSA

    Have recieved new springs and fitted them. They are of course considerably stronger than the old ones. Used the original leather washer after a lube with silicone grease. Wham! Blam! the piece now kicks like a goosed mule! The accuracy is wild too. Compromised and removed one of the new springs so it is now running on one new one and one old one. Much better and smoother to use . Had power check on my friends chrono and over 5 shots it is doing 10.4lbs. I think that will do me for now. Many thanks to Chris in the Midlands for advice... Now I wonder how much a blueing job would cost mmmm! Thanks all at forum for your interest..
