Re: Bsa Springers

Airsporters, Meteors & Mercury's were popular & crop up a fair bit.

Superstars not so ( I snapped up the only two I've seen advertised in the last 3 years)

Supersports are still available new, rarely seen one for sale second hand though.

Re: Shooting cycle of a tuned HW95

Lol, I am a nice friend :) That unit was designed by me & made by my Dad in the UK. We make & sell a good few each year & Dad sends them all over the UK, Europe, South Africa, New Zealand & the USA (where legal to own). The bitter irony is I can't use my own designed creations over h...
