Expensive Spares.

[Tron 173]

I recently had to order a replacement trigger spring for a BSA MK1 Airsporter from a well known

 

B,ham stockist from past experience I was carefull to give the model, series, and serial number

 

and also a description of the spring ie- a single leg hairspring. a small item less than 2 inches

 

long. As I half expected the replacement spring duly arrived nothing like the correct part and

 

not able to fit!. just to rub it in the cost was over £7.00. I sent it back, and managed to get a

 

replacement made from a chap who is a springmaker in West Brom, for £2.00!. I only raise this

 

subject because of the terrific prices being charged for old guns. Likewise the Scottish company

 

are allways very expensive but at least you can see exploded part details on their website.

 

MOAN OVER!. My wife and daughters tell me I am becoming a replacement Victor Meldew.

totally agree mate i went for 4 replacement o'rings for the valve on my hw100

they took my number and phoned me later that day

no wonder they phoned how could you ask someone to their face for £28 for 4 o'rings

hi Tron

i have also posted that they are expensive since they charged me £4.00 each for a BSA Meteor front stock screw,and that dose not include the crinkle washer! that was more ££

 

so now i go to John Knibbs

 

http://www.airgunspares.com/store/department/64/AIRGUN-SPARES/ for BSA parts

 

and Julian Bond http://www.airarmsspares.com/air-arms-spares/ for AA parts

 

both have been very helpful every time

Your right there Dave mate, earlier this year I had to get a BSA Meteor breech seal most stockists quoted £8.00!! Jeeze

 

in the past I have used Weirauch breech seals (sometimes you have to cut them down on the depth but they are good)

 

in the end I sourced pukka BSA mercury/ meteor/ seals from a gunshop in Stourport on severn for £2.00 plus postage

 

maybe a good idea if we all compiled a list of the places to go for spares at non rip off prices? Cheers.
