sandy22 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 ive had my bsa for a while now and always wanted to put a scope on it but there is no rail for the mounts..but there is 2 little holes at the back on the left side. http://www.guntrader.co.uk/GunsForSale/080506101526000 ... take a look how do can any tell me how they have done this ? but my bsa is the ... sportsman fifteen not the sportsman five ..this there any difference other than ammo capacity ? The two little holes are for a peep sight. The gun you are looking at on Guntrader is not a Sportsman Five, it's a Supersport Five, which is a bit different, e.g. the rear receiver bridge is not slotted for the bolt handle. It looks to me like they have attached their scope by adding two dovetail blocks to the top of the receiver, either by drilling and tapping or by using the factory receiver dovetail. You may find this of interest. http://www.rifleman.org.uk/BSA_Sportsman_Rifles.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Its not a big job to have it drilled and tapped by a competent gunsmith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welsh warrior Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 will that fit my bsa ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy22 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 will that fit my bsa ? On checking, I now think maybe not. The PH17 fits my Supersport, but I think the one for your rifle may be the PH16. (See http://bsaog.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=8673.0 ) Sorry not to be able to tell for sure.
