I would love one of these,I bought a new XL and it was horrible.
I hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend and sunshine.
My dear mother bought me this BSA Lightning for my birthday 20 years ago. It's had a hell of a lot of use but it's not required anything other than 2 or 3 breech seals in that time.
It's been very accurate, but I'm not suprised because the last time I chronographed it, it was only doing 9 ft-lbs.
I would like to send it for a service and keep it working for atleast another 20 years. Are there any Supersport/Lightning experts that
come recommended?
Thank you.

Won't go wrong sending it to Lyn, I've shot some rifles he's worked on and had a few bits of him, very good quality and a nice bloke to boot.
Another thumbs up for Lyn. Plus Simon @ The Airgun Doctor.

That depends how you define “Weihrauch performance”. I own several HW’s but when I’m leaving the house to go to a shoot 90% of the time I’ll pick up my mk1 Lightning .177 or my Supersport .25, depending on the quarry.
If I ranked my guns by how much time they’ve seen in the field the HW’s couldn’t hold a candle to my BSA’s, so if I’d rather pick up an old BSA I’m not sure what that says about Weihrauchs superiority.
The original Lightning is a great gun. Don’t think less of it for not wearing a HW badge!

It's nice to hear someone standing up for the little lightning Greg, it's such a handy size and weight.
I don't know anything about the later Spanish ones but I have no complaints with my mk1 in 20 years.
