Thread: All things BSA

How are you finding a the trigger now?

Good, breaks cleanly. Tuned to be safe and the more I use it and learn it the better it gets.

Go on you know you want one in 30 07 @viper

Thought this might be of help here.

Grew up shooting a BSA Sportsman 10 in Australia with my dad. Got a semi auto .22 when I moved here but quickly got tired of the novelty of it. Got myeslf a BSA Sportsman 15 a few months ago and I absolutely adore it. 70 years old and still runs like a dream.

Note: I took the ugly white extender off.

my dad had one of these in the 70s- I wish I could find it or one like.

BSA Martini action.
Lovely wee rifle, and deadly accurate.
Restocked with NZ Red Beech.

Im pretty sure I've got one on the rack (limited to 10rds now) PM me if interested.

Those are a good rifle yet to see ine that doesnt shoot

The BSA Sportsman rifles were good and accurate but the split rear bridge meant they had to have a side mount for a scope. They were never much good as they flexed too much. I used to fit a fixed bridge just in front of the bolt handle, alter the bolt handle to a low recurve shape and fit a conventional top mount. I did lots of them and they made a very good scoped rifle. You don't see them much these days. I also used to make a lot of firing pins for them as they were easily lost when the bolt was out of the rifle. 'Fiddlers' used to turn the bolt handle when the bolt was out and they would slip off the bolt which allowed the firing pin to fall out. 'Fiddlers' still keep gunsmiths busy!

Hello Guys

Anyone interested in a BSA Supersport in 22LR. Its in nice original condition, complete with magazine and functions fine. Its isn't grooved or tapped, so is strictly open sights unless you want to defile it (which most people counsel against, but I reckon it just makes the remainder more valuable). I have the correct weaver bases for it and was going to glue them on (works well with epoxy, usually).

Photo coming . . . .

She's the real deal @bluecod1967, complete with period mounts & scope. Nice

barrels tidy despite the use its had i swapped a new nhm90 223 for it so i couldnt resist i wanted out of the 223 nhm90 they other chap wanted a wallaby gun.would love to know how old or what the production numbers were for these

I bought that majestic action and stock that was for sale. I reckon a fast twist 6mm remington would be a perfect light weight rig for the rifle, I have every other calibre, throat it for the berger 105'S ?

Hi @bluecod1967 Your Majestic was made between 63 and 66 so just a few years older than you
