    BSA Defiant

    Hi All, I haven't been active in air guns the last few years but when I was, I loved BSA's. I've followed the industry silently. They were never leading edge but they were good quality with a fantastic barrel and a super easy to work on platform. There was always a complaint that they never...

    Best PCP gun for under $700

    These days, most PCP's are pretty good guns. BSA's are a great value, especially used. Air Arms, Marauders, Evanix, etc., all good too. If you are new to PCP's, used is a good way to go.

    BSA scorpion 1200 se

    Turning down the power is easy. Look on youtube for detuning a BSA Ultra, it's exactly the same and takes about 10 minutes. With a new spring and hammer from airgunspares.com, you could take it down to 12fpe. As it is, you should be able to drop it to around 20fpe, get more shots and still...

    BSA R10 Mrk II help?

    You probably just need to replace the o-ring on the pellet probe. There are lots of how to videos on you tube. I'd also guess, based on the video that the ball bearing that holds the probe in place is off. It's possible they forgot to put the spring in place when it was new.

    paging BSA R10 owners and enthusiasts

    Without adjusting the regulator, you can increase the speed by increasing the hammer spring tension. This video shows detuning as Ultra but all BSA PCP's are essentially the same. Tuning it up is the same, you just dial anti-clockwise.

    About BSA hammer forged barrels, Leupy's views

    I can't speak to hardness but having owned lots of BSA's, I prefer their barrels. As an average shooter, they are just as accurate as LW for me and much less pellet fussy. My Huntsman only shot JSB's really well but my BSA's all shot JSB's, Baracuda's, Crosman HP's, Napiers and a few other...

    I am getting out of air gunning after a decade of enjoying this wonderful hobby. For sale is a BSA R10 .22 in excellent condition shooting at 29fpe and is unadjusted from factory. Very minor marks from working on the gun (swapping barrels) with very minor pressure marks on the wood and some...
