Technical Information
All BSA airguns are made to the highest standards at our factory in
Birmingham. BSA barrels are cold hammer forged and crowned for optimum
accuracy.
Before leaving the factory every airgun is tested on special purpose
machinery to verify velocity and pellet grouping. UK law dictates that air
ries should not be capable of above 12 ft-lb muzzle energy; all BSA models
conform to this requirement. Export models are supplied to conform to the
laws in the destination country.
Filling the rie with air
A Quick – ll adaptor is supplied with the rie.
The maximum ll pressure for the rie is 232 BAR. Do not over charge the
rie as this may be dangerous. Doing so will reduce the power and can
damage the rie.
The buddy bottle can be lled with air in two ways;
1. Via the quick-ll port situated in front of the pressure gauge using the
lling adaptor supplied with the gun.
2. By removing the bottle from the gun and relling it using an optional
bottle lling adaptor (part number 16-6440, not supplied) and replacing
the bottle on the gun.
Unless you need to remove the buddy bottle it is recommended that the rie
is lled using the Quick –ll adaptor.
When lling the rie via the quick ll port, use the gauge on the scuba tank
or hand pump to read the pressure.
Using the Quick-Fill
• Before lling, always ensure the rie is unloaded and the safety catch
is on.
• If the buddy bottle is empty, cock the rie before lling.
• Insert the lling adaptor into the lling port, and push it home.
• Make sure the bleed screw on the charging unit is closed, and then open
the air bottle valve slowly.
• Slowly ll the rie to the maximum recommended charge pressure, and
close the valve. Allow a few minutes for the pressure to settle. If necessary,
repeat the procedure to top up the pressure in the gun
• Quickly open the air bleed valve on the charging unit to allow the
pressurised air in the hose to escape.
• Pull the lling adaptor from the lling port.
• Remember that your rie may be cocked, if so you should de-cock it
immediately for safety reasons.
• To de-cock your rie, release the safety catch, then pull back the bolt and
while holding the bolt, pull the trigger and slowly allow the bolt to move
forward until it is back in the rest position.
Regularly check the condition of the lling probe “O” rings and apply a little
Molycote 111 grease. Only use this grease on the “O” rings as automotive
mineral oils and grease can cause an explosion if used with high-pressure air.
Using Compressed Air
High pressure compressed air can be used safely provided proper procedures
are followed, if you are not sure of the procedure ask your gun shop for advice.
Never try to t a buddy bottle to the gun when the rie is in a partially
assembled state.
The removable buddy bottle can be lled from an air tank or using a hand
pump. Whichever equipment is used, a pressure gauge and supply hose bleed
device must be included, and the manufacturer’s instructions must always be
followed.
The buddy bottle can be removed and changed for a spare bottle in the eld if
required.
CAUTION!
Only dry breathing quality air should be used in guns.
Never ll any gun with oxygen, or any other gas.
Removing the Buddy Bottle
• Apply the safety catch, remove the magazine and check that there is not a
pellet in the barrel, if in doubt point the rie in a safe direction and re the
rie to ensure that the barrel is clear.
• To avoid damage to the buddy bottle “O” ring, which can result in leaks,
it is essential to rst close the valve in the buddy bottle by unscrewing it
one full turn. There will still be some compressed air in the rie’s regulator.
To release this, point the gun in a safe direction, take off the safety catch
and re the gun several times. Repeat the ring-cycle until the muzzle
discharge becomes quieter and the pressure gauge reads empty.
• If the muzzle report is still loud after ring the gun 8-10 shots and the
gauge is still showing air in the gun, unscrew the bottle a further quarter
turn and repeat the process. Once the rie is empty the bottle can easily be
un-screwed.
Filling the Bottle with Air
An optional lling adaptor which screws onto the top of the buddy bottle
(part number 16-6440, not supplied) is obtainable from BSA stockists.
• Check that the threads on the bottle and lling adaptor are clean, then
screw the bottle into the adaptor until it is tight.
• The procedure for relling the bottle is identical to that when using the
lling probe.

Gun Safety
• Make sure you know the laws relating to airguns, and abide by them.
• When you pick up any gun always check that it is not loaded.
• Never point a gun at anyone or anything that is not a legitimate target.
• Never leave your rie unattended, even if it’s unloaded.
• Gun safety is a state of mind; never rely on a safety catch.
• After use, put your rie away safely; unloaded and out of reach of
children. Store your pellets separately.
• Always ensure it is safe to shoot and be certain of your target before
you squeeze the trigger.
• Make sure there is a safe backstop behind your target to catch your
pellet in case you miss.
• Beware of ricochets – do not shoot at water or other smooth surfaces
that may deect the pellet in a different direction.
• Always unload your gun when crossing obstacles, taking it indoors or
into a car.
• When carrying your rie, be sure the muzzle is always pointing in a safe
direction in case you should stumble.
• Never shoot on land without permission from the owner.
Safety Warning
• Use only dry breathing air.
• In the interest of safety any physical damage to air cylinders or lling
tanks (e.g. dents, rust etc), and their ttings and valves must require
the return of the item(s) to the manufacturer or their appointed agent
for inspection.
• Any modication or service to the product must only be carried out
by the manufacturer or their appointed agent. On no account should
owners attempt to work on or modify guns.
• Do not exceed the manufacturers maximum ll pressure for the gun.
• Because of the high pressures involved the air reservoir should be
checked periodically by the factory or an appointed agent of the
company. BSA recommend a visual inspected every 3 years and
pressure tested every 10 years.
• When storing your gun avoid excessive heat, cold or humidity.
