Making a loaded rie safe
If the rie has been loaded with a pellet, remove the magazine as described
above, then close the bolt, aim the rie at a safe target, take the safety catch
off and re. Do not ret the loaded magazine until it is needed, or remove all
pellets from the magazine before retting it to the rie.
It is good practice to use this procedure once the rie shoot has been
completed, whether you know the magazine to be empty or otherwise.

Care and Maintenance
After use, check that your rie is unloaded and wipe the metal and
woodwork surfaces with a lightly oiled cloth. Pay special attention to the
metal nishes as these are not fully rustproof and are vulnerable to damp
and particularly perspiration. If your rife has become damp, make sure it is
completely dry before you put it away.
The R-10 mk2 has a grade 2 walnut stock with an oil nish. Periodic
application of a small amount of a proprietary stock nishing oil is all that
is required. Alternatively linseed or walnut oil could be used.
Never use lubricants containing silicone as they can cause damage to
metal surfaces. Application of oil and grease except as directed by the
manufacturer can often do more harm than good.
Your rie has been designed and manufactured for optimum performance.
Tampering with the components, or unauthorised modications and
alterations may make the rie unsafe to use and will invalidate the
warranty. All air ries require periodic maintenance and inspection, so
even if everything seems to be in good working order, have your air rie
checked periodically by a competent gunsmith. You should always have
the power of your air rie re-checked following any maintenance or repair
work as any repairs or adjustments could affect the power. It is your legal
responsibility to make sure the air rie remains below the legal power
limit, which in the UK is 12 ft-lb.

2 Year Warranty
All new BSA ries carry a 2 year warranty against faulty parts and labour,
this applies to new ries only and is not transferable; proof of purchase is
required. Excluded from this warranty are: failure due to misuse or abuse,
the tting of non-standard parts, and fair wear and tear. All warranty work
must be done by BSA or an authorised agent of the company, and should
the rie be collected or returned under warranty, BSA or their authorised
agent reserve the right to charge for postage and / or inspection. BSA will
not accept guns for service or repair unless they are sent via a gun shop
(RFD). So please do not return guns directly to the factory.
Telescopic Sights
The BSA R-10 mk2 has a full length integral 10.8mm dovetailed scope rail
designed to accept standard scope mounts and night vision equipment.
Refer to the scope manufacturer’s instructions on tting and adjusting.
Butt Plate
The butt plate can be adjusted for elevation to suit your individual
preference. Loosen the central locking screw and nd the position that best
matches your ideal sighting and comfort. Tighten the screw to lock the plate.
The Magazine
The 10 shot capacity magazine features a rotor housed within a base, retained
by a cover plate and screw. The rotor is sprung loaded and its movement is
conned by a stop.
DO NOT TURN THE ROTOR AND RELEASE IT AGAINST THE SPRING PRESSURE AS
THIS MAY DAMAGE THE STOP.
Take care to avoid contamination with dirt or grit and always carry
magazines in a sealed plastic bag. Do not dismantle the magazine
Loading the Rie
1. Apply the safety catch and push the magazine retaining catch forward.
2. Lift the bolt handle and pull back as far as it will go and while holding the
bolt in this position, remove the magazine.
3. Hold the magazine between nger and thumb with the cover plate screw
uppermost. Push the pellet, nose rst, into the empty magazine chamber
and press down until the pellet skirt is under the cover plate. (Fig 1)
4. Rotate the magazine rotor anti - clockwise until the next empty chamber
is revealed. Hold the rotor in this position against the spring pressure and
load the next pellet into the chamber. (Fig 2)
5. Repeat this operation until all chambers have been loaded.
6. Replace the magazine in the rie (Fig 3), close the magazine retaining
catch and close the bolt. Take the safety catch off when ready to re
the rie.
7. When the rie has been red, the magazine will automatically index to
the next chamber when the rie is re-cocked. Close the bolt and the rie
is ready for the next shot. DO NOT RECOCK THE RIFLE MORE THAN ONCE
WITHOUT FIRING AS THIS WILL LOAD MORE PELLETS INTO THE BARREL,
POTENTIALLY CAUSING A BLOCKED BARREL AND DAMAGE TO THE RIFLE
8. The magazine rotor is numbered to indicate the amount of pellets left in
the magazine. Note the number will remain the same after the pellet has
been red and will change only when the rie is re-cocked.
9. When the tenth and nal pellet indexed into position, the number 1 will
become visible. Once this pellet has been red, the magazine is ready to
be relled.
The Silencer
The BSA R-10 mk2 has a shrouded barrel, incorporating a highly efcient
sound suppression system. There is a ported muzzle break which acts as a
thread protector and when removed reveals a 1/2” UNF thread allowing the
use of an additional silencer if desired.
Trigger Adjustments
The trigger is set at the factory, but some aspects can be adjusted to suit
individual preferences.
Before adjusting the trigger, remove the magazine and check that there is
not a pellet in the barrel, if in doubt point the rie in a safe direction and re
the rie to ensure that the barrel is clear.
Remove the Buddy Bottle as described previously, then remove the stock
assembly.
In the interests of safety, take care not to over-lighten the trigger weight.

1. Trigger pull. This screw adjusts the weight of second stage trigger pull,
to increase the weight of pull turn the screw clockwise and anti-clockwise to
reduce the weight of pull.
2. Sear engagement screw. This screw determines the length of the second
stage release. Should you wish to adjust the length of the second stage
release, slacken off the locknut and adjust the screw the desired amount.
Turning the screw clockwise reduces the second stage release; turning it anti-
clockwise increases the second stage release.
CAUTION GREAT CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN IN THE ADJUSTMENT OF THIS
SCREW. ANY EXCESSIVE CLOCKWISE TURN COULD RENDER THE GUN IN A
CONDITION IN WHICH IT COULD FIRE ACCIDENTALLY. IF IN ANY DOUBT
CONSULT A QUALIFIED GUNSMITH
3. First stage trigger adjustment. This is factory preset and must not be
adjusted.
4. The trigger grip can be adjusted lengthways, sideways and swivelling
