Hi BSF Media

[Dick Tracey]

Hi All

I have a BSF Media which I just put a synthetic Breech Seal in.  The question I have is the Grove that the breech seal goes into is not the same depth.  I inverted the seal and shaved it with a razor blane to make it level with the breech.  I then turned it over and it seems to work.  It at least passes the tissue test.  Does anybody know if the grove should be uneven like that?

Thanks

Whats A BSF Media? If you mean a BSA then you'll need to to the Air gun Gate with you question.

Looks like a neat gun Dick, thanks for posting the link. By-golly, the German Gate is paying off.......how about a Transylvania Gate?

HW bought out BSF.  Basis for the R series.

Your original breech seal was synthetic or leather?  (This is a rifle, yes?)  If you are sealing OK and don't have a droop issue with part of the seal standing too proud, I would not worry about it.  The groove depth isn't exact on some guns.  If you want to level it, you might try a bit of tissue, etc, under the lower part.  But, again, if it's working well, I wouldn't bother.  How about a picture?

I will take Pics tomorrow and post.

Hi all,

Tomorrow finely got here.

Original seal was leather and I got replacement leather seal from supplier of parts for BSF in england.  I decided to get a synthetic seal for Beeman and picked one that fit most .22 Airrifles.  That is the one shown here.  The close up of the cut seal shows a little rub mark but everything seems to work fine.  The only other problem I have is mounting a scope.  The scope mount is the original that came on the gun.  I have mounted three different scope that have came from other airrifles but they shoot to high.  So far the red dot is working very o well.  I am planning to get a chrono soon to so I can check the speed.

Just a idea but if all scopes shoot too high maybe you can get a drooper mount and put it on backwards. Barrel must be high.

BSF, although old, is a new one on me. Looks cool though. I like old stuff.
