Best of david bowie 2002 download. Davy, thanks for the welcome. Its spring airgun that I believe to be a.177, its not seized at all but the stock is a bit wobbly. Daughter has confiscated my phone for her own use but I found a pretty close image of it This one has the serial No 4473 so guesstimating around the year 1919.

There is a bit of corrosion around the end of the barrel by the sight. It would be great if you could take a look at it, I could come to your meet up one weekend when I'm not out racing with the terriers. Where would my local gunsmith be, I'm in Chippenham Many thanks, Nicola. Davy, thanks for the welcome.

The corrosion,may move with some tin foil and gun oil lightly rubbed.is it pitted rust? So its a BSA are there any letters before the serial number?
I am pretty sure its a model D BSA which was the follow on from the Lincoln Jeffries patented rifle, Those guns were about from Pre War One!! In fact most if not all bell target teams shot those rifles in the 1920,s onward.
It is of course a underlever and the loading was done via the rotating tap, Ala the later Airsporters.To check the airtightness of the loading tap Cock the rifle open the tap then STILL HOLDING the underlever pull the trigger and return the underlever to the barrel, if the tap is sound it will take a few seconds bafore the underlever locks up. If the tap is worn and leaks all is not lost, its a easy job to remove the tap and have it zinc or copper plated to restore it to leak free opperation. Cheers, Tron. Edited August 20, 2012 by Tron.
