Another BSF rifle that survives is the HW 50S. It used to be an HW designed rifle, but when they bought the remainents of BSF, they put the slightly more powerful BSF rifle into their line up, removed the original 50, and it survives today along with its transplanted Record trigger. All you need to do is take one apart and you see very quickly that it is not like the HW 30, 35, or 80. Good read, lauchlin. Thanks. |

From the not very well informed.... Could you expand a bit on this? I have a target pistol that has been described as "hold sensitive" on a number of a/g boards. I'm very interested in the light hold idea, and how it is accomplished. My natural reaction to loose grouping is to tighten up... The old target grade air rifles are seldom encountered here. I've seen little at gunshows.... there must be a lot of these quality air rifles around. I don't come across them much as a salable item. any ideas? Regards, Doc Sharptail |

Haha, those BSF guns look a lot like Chinese B1/B2s. Perhaps those rifles are poor copies of these higher quality guns? |

Superb write-up on the BSF rifles. Sadly, I do not have a single BSF in my collection - but hope springs eternal - lol. That is one sweet looking Walther LG-53ZD - very nice score indeed !! |

Hi I am an American but lived in Williams Lake, B.C. for 15 years before returning to the US. I have several BSF guns, I own a minty BSF 54 underlever rifle (the plain model) with no checkering on pistol grip but I have the lovely peep sight with the huge eyepiece. I also have a nice BSF 55 carbine and a lovely S70 rifle which I believe is a 55 with a longer barrel all factory not a rehash. Ive just ordered a BSF S20 with the adjustable match rear sight, it wont arrive for 10 days or so. I really enjoy German made airguns. The marking on my BSF 54 says Made in Germany West-this is not a typo It does not say made in West Germany, but Made in Germany West-any thoughts on date it was made? If you send me your email address, not the forum, Ill send you pix of it, I have trouble attaching pix to web sites-Im not to bright on computers. Ibuy and sell airgun literature world wide, check my web site at www.bigspringguns.net Ihave two apparently new stocks for the S20 one looks like walnut? it only has the hole in pistol grip, not the screw hole through the forend from right to left.
