Got some idea what one or two might go for but not all of them.

do the bsas and 303 have bolts

**NZ32** · 09-07-2023, 07:51 PM

Yep, bolts for the BSA's and the 303 even matches the receiver.

**blip** · 09-07-2023, 07:59 PM

Id say around 120 for the bsa, probably legal but that 303 looks dodgy Id sell it as parts. probably around 120 for the first 2 shot guns

Have the Sportmans 15s had their mags gelded?

What is the aperture sight on one of the SM 15s? Doesn't quite look like a PH 16. Potentially the sight is worth more than the rifle.

Cindy generously bought my two Sprtman 15s off me.

The stocks on the 15s look reasonably good, the emblems are still well defined.

If the magazines on the BSA’s haven’t been reduced/shortened they are illegal rifles as the magazine is greater than 10 shots.

PH16 F, all seems to work.

Yep mags are an issue I knew about. Is it a spacer in the tube or can you crimp it?

Loktite a spacer in, you are allowed to do the work yourself.

That's interesting. The 16F is made for a SMLE. Wondered why it looked tallsh.

yes - pull the mag inner , punch out the retaining pin on the solid outer end , loctite or silver solder a spacer of suitable length to the end of the mag stopper to reduce capacity - .22LR cartridge is 24mm long so times that by how many you want to reduce . Make sure the spacer fits inside the magazine spring so it doesnt impede the spring action.
