Thread: All things BSA

Well not a centerfire, but it is a BSA.
Recent project, shortened/threaded the barrel, made a thread preoector, shortened the fore-end a little and fitted the scope with a little help from @gundoc with the base
Sorry for the extra pic. Tried deleting it for the slightly better one but wont go away.
Had a play before the shortening but not under ideal conditions so still to have another go

I know it as a international mk1. Rimfire. Not 100% but think the was a centerfire from the get go.
Also thombholed the stock

really like that - I have done two earlier small bore .22 BSA rifles - the first I sold -the second is a work in progress -will try to post a picture soon -now the second one I improved on and did work that I should have done on the first - so a complete list is 1) cut barrel back and profile 2) fit scope ( 2nd hand Vortex 3-9 ) 3) satin bead blast and reblue ( all work by Malcom Gillace Rotorua very nice ) 4) a lot of stock work and some still to be done not my best skill so slow on that - if any one wanted the original aperture sight and tunnel foresight I still have them of the second BSA - now to work out how to do a photo of my phone lol
