    Hi newby here and just returned to airguns.

    So hello all I'm a London shooter had a few rifles and a gammo pistol in the past,just sold the pistol and put the money towards a Airsporter BSA mk7 I believe carbine.
    It seems a bit heavy after my Weihrauch hw57 but has a good clean action thanks to the former owner tuning it with a ox or titan spring and relavant seals etc lubed up and greased profficiently.
    I had a few 5.5mm threw it then got the wasp 5.6 which seem to do the trick, I found a small allen bolt so yep turned that a bit made the trigger less sensative now it is clearly 2 stage a gentle click then squeeze to fire.
    In the garden so far 25/30ft best threeshot group 10p size good therapy as giving up smoking and nice to shoot again all that fresh air!

    Now a few days and many shots later I think the trigger of my BSA Airsporter mk7 carbine is not adjustable the small allen bolt just locks the trigger when screwed in???
    Anyway with a little practice can now manage 10mm three shot group on a good day and looking forward to trying greater distances, the spring turns out to be a titan Phew did'nt like the thought of the square ox chewing up my chamber...
    Treated myself to a Theoben Evo and a Niko sterling scope which adjusts down to 10 meters Making garden practice a lot less fuzzy!
    Seems a bit easier to group, but just goes to show how good the Airsporter is as over this distance not a lot in it, I guess it must have been the mutts nut's in it's day I can appreciate why it's collectable now.
    Happy shooting!!!
