Nothing different inside, just had the deluxe beech stock with higher cheek piece and checkered pistol grip, Superstar trigger, breech bolt barrel pivot instead of a pin and the maxi grip rail but had they had used that as a starting point then it could of evolved into something better but knowing BSA, probably not.

I know what you mean, Pete.. One of the great things about The Bash is the opportunity it presents to try other rifles out, but sometimes it's just nice to settle into your personal groove for a while and enjoy some meditative springer therapy..
Amongst my many "to be started" projects there's a "needing final tweaks" one.......the first 99 I bought. I bought this one used, to dip my toe in the water, so to speak, after the scare stories. It's a .22. I fitted a WonkyDonky kit and it shoots absolutely sublimely. I may not have actually gone quite to town enough as regards sorting the cocking lever out, which I must get around to one day. When built I only used it on opens and believe the set-up suits the rifle's compact lines and light weight nicely. Maybe I ought to get this fettle actually finished, scope her up and bring it along; I'm sure you'd enjoy.
THE BOINGER BASH AT QUIGLEY HOLLOW. MAKING GREAT MEMORIES SINCE 15th JUNE, 2013.
NEXT EVENT :- May 17/18, 2025.........BOING!!
This feels a bit like a friendly challenge coming on, may be I need to do a 99 with a .25 flake, unless I do what Craig said at the bash and put the LGV piston I have in an 80 (but then that defeats the 99 object then) but like Craig says, I have so many other projects to finish first with so little time to do them in.

Perfect sporting break barrel? Feinwerkbau Sport. I have a rough looking 127, and I love it. Perfect weight, accurate, easy to cock, and although the trigger is no Rekord, it's adequate. Alas, it's in the cabinet back in England and I've not shot it for three years. Really want to get it over here asap.
Perfect break barrel... for me that would be the Cometa Fenix 400USC in .22 running anywhere between 8.5 and 11.4.*
The only thing these need:
Make sure the spring ends can rotate / fit slippy washers / grease correctly.
Remove the little spacer on the triggers second stage adjustment.
I rate this rifle highly enough that I'm very close to buying a second... in .22.
I've had HW's and yes, Great trigger but on the whole, they're like a Mk2 Ford Escort 1.1... great place to start if your gonna throw money at it and make it something special.
*I will confess that when 'upping' the power, I went over the top with the washers and blimey it can make Serious power And retain its excellent shooting charactaristics.
Tony wins straight away. I can safely guarantee my rifles will still be in pieces by that date - and those pieces will be scattered all over the house (and the houses of friends) for a long time...
My .25 HW95 however, should be finished - that's only taken me four years to get around to it...
Put on heading 270, assume attack formation
