Airgun swap

[Hammock Hamster]

Hi guys, just though I'd test the waters here.

I have a BSA superten bull barrel carbine in .177 with slip and 3L air bottle (in pristine condition but out of test).

I am looking to do a straight trade for a theoben evolution in any calibre for all of the above, I would also consider a BSA lightning with either something else to even up trade value or cash to do the same.

If anyone is interested drop me a pm and I can add some more details and pics etc...

All he best, Hamster

Evening all,

Just thought I would give this a little bump also rather than starting another thread I wanted to see if there would be any interest in this as a sale rather than trade item.

Looking £200 for rifle, slip, 3L bottle and a few tins of pellets chucked in - over 18's only collection from either Surbiton, Surrey or Piccadilly, London.

All the best, Hamster

Would also consider a straight trade with a bsa lightening xl

Why the swap from a pre-charged to a springer, out of interest?

Hi itzal,

I'm looking to go back to a self contained rifle as I have some family and friends who want to start shooting and i want something simple and with some recoil for hem to learn with.

The superten is superb but more than my needs at the mo at I don't need two so hoping to fund/swap one with the other.

Cheers, Hamster

Theoben isn't a Springer....its gas - ram

Should have clarified, I was taking about the BSA Lightening.

I have the above and it's hardly been used, I would contemplate a swap but I'm a bit far north.

And I should have read the op more thorough :thumbup:

Just to put a cat amongst the pigeons bsa have just released a new version of the lightening with a gas ram instead of spring but it was the springer I was looking for!

If your ever within striking distance of North Yorks I would contemplate a swap. I bought mine years ago and it's hardly been used. Pre charged seems a better option on the hunting basis and for teaching kids due to the quieter report and less recoil.

I think it's a bit of a double edged sword, I learnt to shoot with springers and .22 rimfires and have always felt learning to shoot with some recoil helps make you a better shooter (plus if I teach them to shoot with the pcp and they ever shoot anything else they won't know what to expect).

I agree the extra shots and quieter report makes for a better hunting tool but I've bagged my fair share with springers and unfortunately don't get out as much as I used to so reckon it will suit my needs for the odd hunting trip and as a training tool.

All good points, I would consider it as I say but I'm a bit far north, which is a shame, would be good to teach the little lad shooting.

I am very interested, but at the moment can not pm as im in the sin bin for a few more days.

havent had an airrifle for about thirty years so some re-newby questions...

how many shots do you get on a fill? Has it recently been tested and shown to be legal without a fac? Which version is it mk3/4?

what about a scope/silencer? How many charges do you get from the 3L bottle?

can you pump the bottle up with a suitable pump?

Lastly can you post a pic?

I can receive pm's so if youve an email addy?

thanks

Hi lupin,

I have had around 100-120 full power shots on a fill, I haven't chrono'd it since the summer but was coming in just under legal limit with about 5 different types of pellets.
I will be honest I'm not sure which model it is, I tried a google search but it came back with too many variations though I bought it new about 4 years ago.
It has the integrated bull barrel silencer but I am keeping the scope to go onto my new rifle.
I would guess you could get 5 maybe 6 full charged out of the 3L bottle however I topped the buddy bottle up regularly so couldn't say for sure.
You can charge the buddy bottle with a stirrup pump but its hard work, for me anyway!

Will try to get a pic up later this evening.

Just a quick update to all I have someone coming to take a look at the rifle for a possible trade/sale tomorrow following a pm here - still yet to be decided but will update as soon as I know.

Cheers, Hamster
