Thread: All things BSA

hi thanks very much sideshow

A nice 1960's .222 Majestic! The scope rings are JNT (John Turner of Turner & Le Brun, the last 'real' hunting and fishing shop in Ch-Ch, bare wooden floors and racks and cabinets filled with shooting and fishing gear, upstairs workshop and a hole in the floor downstairs for test-firing, closed in the early 1970's).

hi rod thanks very much for the info rifle came from chch cheers

I like the box mag thing way better than a tube. First one I've ever seen though (of any breed). Cant be many around anymore.

Owned a Sportco one till just recently. I sold it.

That pump looks like it needs a good oil ?... I've never seen one before either. Maybe someone should start a "rustic" gun-shop, when I was a kid, we'd always go into Lissingtons (PN)..as above, wooden floors, gun-racks and an air-rifle range at the rear... a few cents for a few shots,old BSA .177, that range would have encouraged heaps of young people over the years

I have a small job at a tourist park early tomorrow morning. To shoot a fallow stag they no longer want low noise and head shot only so the Hunter came out of the safe for the first time in 10 yrs.I thought it prudent to check zero after all that time and it needed a tweak to the right.
The rifle and ammo.
The price paid for 50 rnd box in today's money $4.50.

And the group before a tweak right.

Nicest one I’ve ever seen , cracker of a rifle

very nice rifle great grouping also,unfortunately for me my majestic doesnt have the original mag follower or spring,the spring is a cf2 one it works but the mag follower is a cut down one that only works with 2 rounds in it at one time so now the hunt begins mag follower for 222 or cut down another one and make it work.

solved that wee problem i have a rough monarch so i swapped the follower fits like it should

Nice rifle john m and good grouping. Have same model myself. Had it for years. Got 2 boxes of ammo with rifle when I bought it. Winchester Super Speed 50 gr soft point. Yellow and red box has 24/- price and date 4/8/55 written on box. Don't use old ammo as reload. I see a Hunter .222 on Trade Me at the mo for $3000.

I reload too but nothing shoots as well in this rifle as the old Sako ammo. Still got 70 or so rounds left, reloads are good just not as good.

Does anyone know how to disassemble the extractor out of a BSA Majestic bolt?

I’ll see if there’s anything in my book on them @Carlsen Highway

THanks, but it's alright - figured it out.

Twenty minutes later - Ha! Fixed it.
