bruno22rf Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Mate of mine used to shoot pigeons around his barns with one of these-really nice to shoot with,I seem to recall,and the sights were a wonderful example of the quality that BSA were once capable of.Chambers gun spares still stock some spares for these and the parts diagram might be of some use to you.If it were mine I would consider having the metalwork re-blued and the stock cleaned and treated-look after her -that there's a piece of history.

Yes i am still unsure what to do with it your right they do have an appeal so will hang on to it for now,paid a tenner for it so its not going to break the bank.

Done some more research and it appears to be older then i first thought a guy on a bsa forum has one he reckons was made in 1913 his seriel no is about 900 before mine so its anyones guess, been having a play in the garden today with it and it brings back memorys of when i was a kid shooting with my mates over the fields happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
