I put this BSA up a while back on the classifieds since it was languishing unused in the gun safe. I warned people that if it didn't sell, I was going to do something drastic,,,,it didn't sell.
So here I now present to you the BSA SuperTen MKIII "Carbine" in .22cal. with a 250mm barrel and shroud shortened accordingly. I also re-purposed a baffle unit that I had made for testing on another air rifle and does a much better job in this one. It's pressed in place so I unfortunately did not photograph it before I installed it in the shroud tube.
The velocity actually crept up to around 830fps, but I was very pleased that I hadn't lost too much velocity. IIRC, I was around 870fps before the surgery (it's been quite a while since I last chonographed it) Since the picture, I refaced the end of the shroud and hit it with some matte black paint, so it looks better now. I will hold all of you responsible for my actions, since no one wanted to buy it. Now I will look forward to a session at the range and see how she shoots.
Enjoy!
