About BSA Air Rifles
BSA (Birmingham Small Arms) has been manufacturing air rifles in the UK since the 1880s, making it one of the longest-established names in British shooting. The current BSA range centres on PCP rifles including the Scorpion SE, R-10, Gold Star and Ultra, alongside a line of spring-powered rifles that remain popular with newer and younger shooters.
BSA rifles are produced in .177 and .22 calibre, available in sub-12ft/lb configurations that require no licence, and in FAC variants for certificate holders wanting elevated power. The brand's long history means the Gunstar classified market spans a wide range, from 1970s springers under £100 to current-production FAC PCPs at £600 or more, making it worth filtering by era and type to find the right example. Buyers should check barrel condition, seals and stock integrity regardless of which BSA model they are considering.
Buying BSA Air Rifles
Licensing
Most air rifles sold in the UK are sub-12ft/lb and do not require a licence for private ownership. Air rifles rated above 12ft/lb require a Firearms Certificate (FAC). Always check the stated power output before purchase, and confirm whether the gun has been tuned, as tuning can take an air rifle over the legal limit.
What to check
For pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) rifles, ask about the condition of the regulator and whether the gun holds air correctly. For spring and gas-ram rifles, ask the seller if you can cock and dry-fire it to check the action for smoothness and any unusual noise. Check the barrel and stock for wear. Confirm the calibre, .177 and .22 are most common, matches any scope or accessories you already own.
What is included
Air rifles are often sold with a scope, silencer, or pump included. Confirm exactly what the listing covers before agreeing a price, as these accessories can represent significant additional value.
Selling Your Air Rifle?
Include the brand, model, calibre, power output, action type (spring, gas-ram or PCP) and condition in your listing. State clearly whether it is sub-12ft/lb or FAC-rated. Photographs of the action, stock and barrel help buyers assess condition quickly.
