Default Lightning

This Lightning is a .177. Barrels for these guns are available and cheap. Mark Knibbs sells `m for some 85 bucks. With the gasram the Lightning is a bit underpowered to consider a .22 barrel.


The barrel is chamfered to make it less pelletpicky.


A huge closing latch. It works well. Lotsa dirt `n` grease.


No bolt to keep the barrel in its place. BSA uses pins to keep the gun together. That`s one of the reasons i sold my first Lightning. I think it`s odd. Why not just use bolts?


The Lightning has got BSA`s Maxi Grip scoperail. Underneath the rail are two rubber strips. Seems to work like the famous Dampamount.


'There are some things babe i just can`t swallow, momma told me that girls are hollow' is a line Lux Interior (RIP) from the Cramps sang but it`s not only girls that are hollow. It`s airgun stocks too!


To be continued.......
