BAM 50

Pellet test

I walked into my trusty Gun Shop to find that Len has just got himself a shipment of BAM air rifles from somewhere. He allowed me to play with a few in the indoor range and I tell you what, they weren't bad for the money.

The B50 and 51 are copies of the early Daystate Huntsman (?) and the 18 a copy of the Gamo 440. He had a couple of other models but they disappeared pretty quickly. 50 is the sporter and 51 is the thumbhole stock. Both the 177 and 22 versions were punching one hole groups with FTTs and Crosmans respectively at 20m.

Single shot only. I reckon an ideal first FT PCP. They also have a muzzle brake which has about a 2.5-3" void.

I believe he was asking about $500 for the 50/51 and about $200 for the 18s. They have all been checked by his airgunsmith. If I didn't already have so many PCPs I'd get one for shits and giggles.

They are all at Armoury and Ammunition Services in Dandenong VIC.

I got hold of a 61 page publication from an American forum showing you how to fettle with the 50/51.
