BSA anybody else own a BSA Superstar ?

My favorite springer of all I've owned. Still own it with factory spring but REALLY enjoyed most with the Theoben gas ram cartridge in it. Unfortunately, that lasted less than a year, so now is just factory spring. Mine is 177 and from the late 90s, if I recall correctly. Light, ergonomic, accurate , and decent trigger, with ample power.

I wanted a .177 carbine SS for a good while. Every used one I saw had hack marks on it and I'm picky about that. I liked the fact that you don't have to do all the weird stuff to cock and load like a HW or AA. The lever latch is clean and neat unlike HW, AA or even Theoben. I've had a few RB2 taps. Time and experience has shown me I'm definitely a dedicated break barrel guy. The exception being my BSA prewar overstocked stash. Their cock and load process is so flowing and intuitive.
Modern BSA might not have had the triggers but definitely built attractive guns.
They're beautiful guns. BSA normally put select beech on them. Weihrauch used to do that but that's all history now.

My two Goldstars .177 & .22. BSA never made a .25 maybe due to the magazine size and fit. Can be tricky guns as pellet can fall inside cylinder if magazine is worn or aftermarket. I make sure every time I cock the rifle the barrel is facing down. Very large beefy rifles.
Lucky man searched for years trying to find a gold star NO LUCK here in the states did see a few for sale on British forums though
