*Mint/Boxed with Original Accessories* 1977-1983 BSA Buccaneer .22 Air Rifle. 20133. - 20133 The BSA Buccaneer is a break barrel spring powered air rifle first produced in 1977 by the Birmingham Small Arms Company, manufactured in both .177 (4.5 mm) and .22 (5.5 mm) calibres and marketed as an introduction air rifle for younger shooters with a muzzle energy of 5.5 ft•lb. The rifle has a safety catch, which is disengaged by operation of a lever next to the shooter's thumb. The rifle shared the action of the BSA Scorpion Air Pistol, barrel from a BSA Meteor Air Rifle and a brown plastic stock designed for right-hand shooters. The spring and piston are compressed by breaking the 18” barrel 125° before loading a pellet directly into the breach. The barrel is then returned into place and secured with a detent lock. The rifle has a peep sight at the rear of the cylinder, rather than the normal position on the breechblock. The moulded stock is in near perfect condition and the metal work is in as equally good condition. There is a shrouded front sight to compliment the rear, the serial No is ‘DA02795’. The rifle comes in its original cardboard box with polystyrene insert. The original accessories are included: BSA oil, Cocking aid, metal target holder with targets and owners maintenance sheet. The rifles loading & firing action work crisply. The price for this very original air rifle and accessories includes UK delivery.

C1985 BSA Tap Loading Stutzen .22 Calibre Air Rifle with BSA 4X40 & Leather Sling. AI 605. - AI 605 The German word stutzen means to crop, dock or prune, so a stutzen rifle is one that looks cropped. Fundamentally, it’s a slang term give to a rifle that’s mounted in a stock that goes all the way to the end of the muzzle. The rifle barrel may be full length, but it appears cropped because the forearm is just as long. The Airsporter Stutzen is an underlever spring-piston rifle whose lever is concealed in the forearm. This example is in very nice condition. The Beech stock with cheek piece has a beautiful grain and only minor age-related marks. The serial number is GR 06397 which dates it between 1985 & 1986.

*Quality* C1850’s Giffard Carbonic Gas 8mm Ball CO2 rifle. 22054. - 22054 The Giffard rifle was invented by Frenchman, Paul Giffard, whose brother, Henri, conducted the world’s first powered flight in a dirigible airship on December 21, 1852. Giffard rifles often have engraved balloons on their receivers and impressed into their gutta percha butt plates, which is apparently a nod to this event. Giffard invented and patented a front-pump air-powered rifle in 1864, and he patented this gas rifle in 1873. In the 1890s Giffard opened the Giffard Gun and Ordnance Company in London to make the same rifle. Later they made an updated design that lacked an exposed hammer. The five exposed screwheads are all clocked — thin screw slots aligned with the bore. The other end of one stock screw that shows through on the top side of the grip iron is also engraved to look like it is a clocked screw. The Giffard came in both smoothbore and rifled versions? The Giffard came in 4.5 mm, 6 mm and 8 mm, this one being the 8mm. Giffards were also made as shotguns. Those have a different type of bolt, and they use a pre-loaded tubular paper 8 mm shot cartridge. Their sights differ from those found on the rifle, as well. The rifle is 41 ½ “long. The barrel is 24 ½ “, which gives the CO2 time to expand. The rifle is loaded through a tap that’s built into the end of the bolt. Instead of a traditional rotary loading tap that’s difficult to machine, this approach seems easier and more straightforward. To load lift the bolt handle straight up to just past 90 degrees and the loading tap is exposed. The front sight is a post and bead. The rear sight is adjustable for both windage and elevation. Giffard knew how to put adjustable power on his rifles and pistols. It’s a simple system, but given the floating hammer that opens the valve, yet doesn’t remain all the way forward to press against the valve. It adjusts from the outside of the gun. The long steel tube under the barrel that serves as the forearm is where the CO2 is stored. That tube is unscrewed from the action for filling. The trigger is a direct sear type, where the trigger blade is what releases the sear to release the hammer. The rifle is in lovely condition with beautiful ornate scrolling throughout the metalwork. The afore-mentioned ballon engraving can be seen on the CO2 tube (pictured). ‘Poids Plein Ade 443 GRmes 49053’ is also present on the tube. The barrel and bolt are stamped with the number ‘7552’ along with ‘Cal 8mm’ ‘Agier’ and several inspection stamps. The chequered wooden stock is in beautiful condition with only a small number of age-related marks. The rifle has its original sling swivels to the stock and barrel. The images don’t really do the rifles quality and elegance justice. The gun loads and fires as it should with a crisp action. The price includes UK delivery. 22054. £1,495.00 |

C1933 BSA Standard No2 T Prefixed .22 Air Rifle. 21984. - 21984 The No2 Standard was prefixed with a T from January 1936. The rifle has a clear T-prefix serial number on the underside of the 3-hole trigger housing. The serial number of this example is ‘T 1960’ which dates it to between 1936 & 1939. This type of rifle originates from the work of a gentleman inventor and engineer Lincoln Jefferies. He held the original patent which was logged in 1906. It is a solid barrel and cylinder with an under-lever for re-charging the air piston. There is a loading Tap approximately halfway along the length of the weapon, which when tipped forward opens a chamber to place the pellet or steel ball bearing within.

The metalwork retains almost all its blueing with only minor signs of age-related wear *the foresight has been professionally brazed in place*. The woodwork is good with a few marks which is to be expected. The walnut stock is in good condition and has the BSA piled arms logo to one side and chequering on both sides of the pistol grip. See page 143-5 of The Book of the BSA Air Rifle by John Milewski. The rifle has been chrono graphed and cocks, loads and fires as it should.
