BSA Superstar ?
Stewart John Simpson
The recoil is too much to shoot accurately,
Does anyone know how I could make this airgun more powerful/accurate?
Also what pellets are best for shooting up to 50 yards?
Are there any on-line ordering or advert sites in the UK for air rifles and
accessory's?
The last time I was into air gun's the Theoben Rapid 7 had just been
released !!
Does Titan still make the Mohawk ?
I always wanted that gun.
Any help/advice would be highly appreciated.

theoben do them www.theoben.co.uk .
For online ordering try
https://www.jsramsbottom.co.uk/
not all of their catalogue is online, it's best to look at their ad in
Airgun World or Airgunner.

1. Forget the gas ram - it will offer no less recoil and will damage your
scope
2. Get the tune professionally fitted with a standard spring - to the 12ftlb
limit. You will be amazed with the difference if the gun is properly
lubricated and serviced.

affecting accuracy the best thing you could do is put a thoeben gas strut in
inplace of the mainspring that will give bang on legal limit power with less
recoil & a lot better accuracy( depending on shooter ).
Pellets try air arms field or crossman premier ( I still like eley wasps ).
Theoben still make the rapid seven its still one of their best sellers
as far as online ordering there are a few J.S.Ramsbottom / C.H.Weston /
T.R.Robb to name some.

Titan no longer exists it was taken over & became Falcon the don't make
any old Titan stuff.

back in 1972. The gun was originally unreliable, when it was new,
but was sorted out during the warranty period. Foolishly,a square
section 'ox spring was fitted, in the early 80's, major mistake, it's
certainly powerfull enough but the trigger mech keeps giving up.
Damm!

( don't throw away/ lose your old springs!)

if you have access to a benchgrinder? first try grinding a coil or
two off the spring , it might tame it down abit and save you a few
quid , just a suggestion
Wally
yes i too hate those ox mainsprings ,a lot of crash bang wallop and
not much else
snake
there are some people out there who believe everything the local gunshop
tells them & if the shop doesn't stock gas strutts they won't sing its
praises will they.

advise
people to buy his stuff or gas rams without including dampa mount unless you
have a very sturdy 4x32 or similarly basic scope

no avail. I understood that titan had been sold off? The only titan I can
find is an american firm who now make specialist springs and clutch parts.
Have you any knowledge of a UK supplier or a web address of a retailer?

No I haven't used a gas ram - I saved the 50 quid and the damage to my
scope. My decision not to go that way was based upon the experiences of many
other shooters who opinions I respect. It was not based upon a single view
expressed by my local gunshop - as you suggest.
