Got is back in a few weeks and all seems fine now. The supplier still knew nothing about the recall either, but it was certainly worth getting it tested.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205987449820979385.post-82164555136829052072011-08-28T22:51:33.060+01:002011-08-28T22:51:33.060+01:00Hi,

Maybe BSA decided not to recall them all? Has your gun shop tested the gun's power. Maybe it's not so low as to be a problem. (If the power's good - over 10ft/lb - then you're okay and have a cracking rifle.) If the power's low, though, I think BSA would probably want to replace the gun. Best thing is to probably ask BSA - after all, if there's any question as to the suitability of the rifle as a 'Hunter', they have to sort it for you under their guarantee. First stop, though - get its power checked. Yours may be okay.NIGEL ALLEN's Official Airgun Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12284395955772330907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205987449820979385.post-21572250189933736672011-08-25T16:27:56.634+01:002011-08-25T16:27:56.634+01:00I am new to air rifles, so have been relying on my...I am new to air rifles, so have been relying on my air gun shop for advice. As a result, I now have a Gamo IGT and a BSA Multishot, plus two interested sons.<br /><br />As I bought the Gamo just a few months ago, and having decided to trade up, I did some research and came across your article. I then approached my gun shop supplier but they said they know nothing about any recall. Is there any more information about it that I can get hold of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205987449820979385.post-13008420744432435932011-07-04T22:46:30.364+01:002011-07-04T22:46:30.364+01:00Great piece of thorough investigative journalism a...Great piece of thorough investigative journalism as we would expect from Nigel Allen. Hope they sort the issues out although you would have thought they would have done their own testing. <br /><br />Brian BrowneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
