Thread: All things BSA

Said this in another post that it looks like we might need a thread on all things BSA.

So if you have one post it up any history personal our otherwise

A CF2 was the second rifle I ever brought. In .270. Just loved the bolt on it....but not how my fillings feel out when ever I let squeezed the trigger.

So I brought another at auction with set triggers two years ago. Rebarreled it to 7x57
Have posted these pics before but here the are again.
Cheers Sideshow
as it was.
How it is now.

I have a number of older BSA rifles, namely a .222 Hunter with mint barrel and a few rifles that I have built on BSA actions, such as a 6mm on a viscount action. I currently have two actions - a 270 Imperial and a 308 Viscount that I will rebarrel and restock in fancy walnut. I have quite a few parts such as firing pins if anyone is looking for parts.

@garyp I got my walnut from this guy. Rifle Blanks | New Zealand Walnut
Good to deal with and nice selection of blanks.
Might need a part list to this new thread

I have a BSA .270 ( I can see everyone raising their crucafix's), not my favorite calibre, but great with 110gr pro-hunters. It is a nice rifle, I'll put up a photo eventually. I am trying to establish wether it is the last of the hand-cut barrels, or the first of the hammer-forged. It has the letter "V" in the l/h of the cross, making it 1970, or 71, depending on who you believe. The trigger-guard and floor-plate are steel,and it has twin feed-ramps machined in the action. The cocked-button, on the top of the rear-bolt, is red plastic, not brass..Any knowlede would be appreciated, Dave

Plastic ah that's a new one. Year some pics would be interesting.
You sure it's a V and not a poorly stamped M?
I've not seen V in the serial numbers before.

Could it be that the barrel is off a century bolt action target rifle?

@rewa is it like this?

Just a few pics of the new paint job to the trigger guard.



Do the final coats tomorrow.

Is that steel bottom metal or alum?

I don’t have a BSA, but have been searching for a Lee Speed for some time. So if you see one...

Aluminium. Apart from the floor plate which is steel. I’ve sent this of to get blued the old fashioned way

Majestic and IIRC first pattern monarch have a small red plastic button that pops up when in the cocked position.


I have a couple of BSA based rifles. Cant find other pics for some reason.

A 222 hunter, rebarreled with a vulcan, ( top notch barrel, as good as any of the bartliens or kreigers etc Iv had) Stock was refurbished by Kevin Gascill



A Majestic. Was a worn out 308 now wears a trueflight PT in 243ai. Original stock was beyond repair so Kevin built a new one for me. Has been a lot of fun and its a very effective cartridge with the 105 vlds.

my oldman had a cf2 in 6.5x55 now has Majestic rebarrel in 7mm08 he prefers the Majestic by far than the cf2 he had
