Thread: All things BSA

Use a screwdriver to push down on the plunger and then slide the extractor out sideways. I have a spare new one here if you ever need one.

You do realise that most of us on here like or at least appreciate pretty much everything. This one just happens to be about BSA's. If you started one about any of the above you would see similar responses. With the exception of the mauser based rifles, I would suggest there are a bucket load of BSA's so maybe more to pick from?
Twat.
@Carlsen Highway nice stock on the 303 BTW

Hook line and sinker,

What, you came on this thread to troll people? That is not an honourable past time. Your mana is diminished.

I like Mausers as well. But there are a great many poorly made Mauser rifles out there. You can't beat the featherweight Imperials, Viscounts, Hunters and Majestics for a Nz huntign rifle. Decades ahead of their time, and vastly better made than most American rifles. And I love the Winchester model 70's too.

That .303 I posted the picture of is a commercial Lee Speed sporting rifle. (Which were made at BSA of course.) It's much better looking in real life than that photo. Ive got a better one somewhere.

Thanks Gary, Now I have fixed it (just needed a minor polish) Hopefully I never need a new one, but I will remember that.

Yup I was right- a twat

I have a CF2 that I am using the action for a project. Can anyone tell me if the trigger guard plate is supposed to be flat or have a slight curve.

Does anyone have a magazine floor plate and a catch sitting around doing nothing?

Thanks

I never realised the commercial ones came with bolt covers mind you Ive only seen 3 and none were as nice as that.

@feratox I’ll have a look for you in the morning to see if there’s any bend in the two that I have.
I do have a spare here.

Thanks that would be awesome

Guy's,
What do you run for mounts/rings on your CF2's?
I'm looking at Conetrols but will consider period gloss rings if they are minimalist!

Right @Fireflite have a look in the thread https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....ngs-bsa-41740/
You might get some more info there.
The base plate is flat.

I’ll sell you this one for $45.00 plus postage.
There’s a chip from the paint work but otherwise in top nick.
Scope mounts are the same as the Rem 700. Off the top of my head I think I’ve got Warren on mine. But the choice is huge.

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

What is going on here? Is that the original timber? If you tell me the CF2 6.5x55 I owned and sold had timber like that under the finish I may never talk to myself again.
