BSA Goldstar?

Would my BSA Goldstar that I have owned for around 30 years qualify to sit into the Collectable range?

More modern collectables. I have 3 of them. 2=.177cal,1=.22cal. Nice guns. Get mags for them from pnumatic ballistics. Better quality than the bsa own mags. Chris

I'd agree with Chris, certainly collectable and probably the right time to get hold of one (I know you already have one) along with the Superstar and early Brum built Supersport/Lightning, although in many peoples eyes they are not that desirable because there are better built rifles out there but they will be harder to get hold of in the future, you only have to look at the prices of Airsporter Stutzens now for example.

Buying a GoldStar in .22 revived my interest in airguns a decade or more back - since then I've bought 'too many to tell the wife'.
Aftermarket (PB) mags are better than the original BSA items, I found.
My GS has been in the shed for ages- I foolishly lent it to someone a few years back, came back with a non working trigger. Took off the stock, the hair spring between the safety catch & the trigger(?) had broken. Think there was also an issue with a pin with the mag indexer(?).
As I had by then bought other guns, it's been in the shed ever since.
This post has made me thing about getting it done up again - it was an accurate gun, if heavy.
A while back, heard there did use to be someone in a nearby village (Fernhill Heath, Worcestershire?) who specialised in doing up older BSA's. Not found anything on the 'net. Does anyone know if he is still going, & what he charges?

All the best
