BSA Guns - Made In Britain

In a little over a hundred years BSA has grown from a small union of gunsmiths to become one of Britain's important industrial groups. The story is not entirely one of steady progress and expansion; there is drama and excitement too. And because BSA has served its country more directly than most private concerns, its story is also part of Britain's history.

Nothing will change until the UK matures from its current affliction with gunphobia.

I am starting out in smallbore rifle shooting, and have had the use of a BSA martini club gun. I wish BSA would start making these again, they are astonishing pieces of the gunmakers art. Fifty year old guns on the original barrels still shooting one hole groups. The build quality on these rifles was astonishing, and made the contemporary rifles from any of the German makers look a bit sick.

My 1st rifle was a BSA cadet im 28 and it was old when i got it. My dads still got his mk1 air sporter and hes 72. I love bsa products.

@strebblo The original Mini wasn't British either, it was designed by Alec Issigonis; a refugee from Greece.

It's just a shame that BSA isn't british anymore - they've been owned by spanish airgun company GAMO for years.

It's like saying the current Mini is a great british car - it's just not, it's a poxy BMW made to imitate the real thing.

They should make motorcycles again too. My first air weapon was a .177 scorpion pistol, finishing up with an Airsporter S , which is still in the cuboard & makes an occasional outing , never had to replace anything on it from when I first got it in the 80s & it still packs a punch & contributes to "something a lil diffrent" at family BBQs , lol.
