BSA bent barrel

Turns out the guy who had the bent bsa barrel also had diana 27. That would have been an interesting gun too. Ballbearing break on the trigger it seems. Unfortunately the person im yaking to third party thinks he sold it. Would have loved to buy that and pulled it apart done a review on it. Or even just see a detail review on one.
Yep the older guns are great. Its not all about targets and high quality guns. Some of earlier guns are gems of design and experimentation.
Even that tally 4.5 im busy not restoring with its leather seals and double spring is interesting in itself.
Only other double spring rifle im aware of was a chinese brand 40+ years ago. Terrible gun, grunty as and was designed that way for cheap military training, in particular the kick back. Which was the reason for the double spring. According to the air gun magazines i use to read at the time.
Lot to be descovered in the history of air guns. Lot to see about how the modern guns came to be by exploring the old guns.
