 It seems that way right now, but remember that during hunting season most
of the posts had to do with hunting. I don't know where the plinkers are,
but there is a post about  handling scope mounts above. Heck we just had a
series of posts on air canes that I'm not into, but it was fun reading.

Dean: I don't know how much machine shop experience you have and I'm not
that familiar with the BSA. I would advise caution however. Getting the
hole centered is important and not easily done with simple hand tools. Even
if you have a drill press,you still have to able to hold the piece
properly.

Guys,
Purely on nostalgia, I picked up a used Daisy 200 at a flea market.  Had a
ball with one as a kid, until one of the neighbors complained to my mom,
upon which I never saw it again.
Anyway, this one will not feed bb's from the main magazine to the spring
loaded magazine (if that makes sense).  Have disassembled it, and the piece
works fine once the spring loaded mag is full.  Any suggestions?
It is an awfully inexpensive (read cheap) pistol, and probably not worth
sending to an airgunsmith.
Thanks in advance,
Bill

If I'm thinking of the right gun, you load the spring loaded magazine by
pulling back and locking the follower, then pointing the muzzle up (or
down) and shaking the gun. This allows BB's to flow from the main mag
into the spring loaded one. Then release the follower.
It was a fun gun for me. Good luck.

If the BSA Super Star is the same as the UK model then the rail is called a
Maxi and has a layer f rubber between the rifle cylinder and the dovetail.
The dovetail rail and the rifle are meant to be isolated from each other
with this absorbing the recoil. Hence no hole for a recoil stud. This
system is akin to the Theoben Dampa Mount system. If it has this rubber
buffer try the scope on the rifle to check for movement before resorting to
machining a hole in it.

Fellow airgunners,
   I hate to brag especially since I do not consider my self to be an
extrordinary shot but I would
like to share an experience I had today.
   I went dove hunting today with my father and brother and law.  They
both took thier 12 gauge
shotguns and I took my Career 707 carbine which has been modified to
shot small pellets.
My dad and brother and law had both killed two doves a piece.  I wasn't
hunting, I only brought
my airgun for plinking while we waited for doves to fly over.  Just
before dark 3 doves flew in from the
east and my father and brother and law could not get a shot at them
before they landed in a tall pine
to roost.  Being the good sportsman they are niether my father nor my
brother and law would take a shot with a shotgun at a sitting bird.  The
birds were approx. 85 - 95 yards from me.  NO LESS, NO
MORE.  I leaned up agaist a tree and with 3 shots I took all three
birds.  My gun is almost silent with
the moderator and the birds did not fly even as I droped them one by
one.  3 shots 3 clean kills.
I was using Beeman Silver Aces.  My dad and brother an law now agree
that this is the most accurate gun we have ever seen and understand why
I have no desire to shot anything else.
   Just thought I would share this with anyone who is considering a
Career 707 carbine.
Thanks, Ken

If you modify the Supersport, I would recommend buying an
end mill or flat bottomed bit for a drill press, removing
the rail undamaged isn't as easy as it looks. (take a look
at the airgun letter forum, somebody messed his up trying
to pry it off before finding out what held it on.)

I started to mount a Simmons 4-12X40 scope on a BSA SuperStar with
B-Square #10101 mounts.  One ring of the mounts has two posts that can
be installed, depending upon the diameter of the hole in the scope rail
(for eliminating recoil-induced movement of the scope).  Unfortunately,
the BSA does not have such a hole in it's scope rail.
Two alternatives seem to present themselves:
1.)  Grind the bottom of the post off so that the ring-to-rail locking
feature would be eliminated (BSA apparently didn't think it was
important?)
2.)  Remove the scope rail and drill a hole in it to engage the locking
post (since I don't have a blind-end drill, I'd probably drill most, if
not all, of the way thru the scope rail.  Wouldn't look nice if I ever
removed the scope, but then the scope rail appears to be aluminum and I
might just be able to paint the inside of the hole to improve the
cosmetics if this ever became the case.

assistant: I haven't been doing much with my airguns lately, but I got some simple
enjoyment from my .20 caliber Beeman R7 with aperature sight.  I went out
back to the cottonwood tree and had fun picking off the seed pods.
The R7 is nifty, and good for some relaxing plinking.  It's also good
practice.  Even though it's much lighter than my Springfield M1A, the overall
shape, sights, and trigger are similar.
Sometimes it seems like this area has been taken over by die-hard field
target shooters.  I have nothing against them, but the subject of airguns
covers a lot more territory than that.  It covers hunters, plinkers,
collectors of old BB guns, etc.
