BSA Standard No2 Pattern 2nd Series .22 Air Rifle ‘S Prefix’ Tapped and Plated for an Early Telescopic Sight. 21023. - 21023 Weighing over 3.5kgs the 45” overall length of the No2 gave rise to its unofficial nickname of the ‘Giant’ or ‘Long Tom’. The extra length came from an extended cylinder and longer barrel than the No1. The No1 had a cylinder length of 7 ¼ “, whereas the No2 had a massive 10 ½ “cylinder by comparison. The first No2’s left the BSA factory towards the end of 1919, several months after the 1919 No1 model. Some of the earliest No2’s had stocks with hand cut rather than pressed chequering. The overall length is 45” with a barrel length of 19 ½ “. It has the correct ‘2 LOAD’ stamped to the barrel between the loading hole and rear sight. The 2 indicates No2 or .22 bore. This example has a rare rear flick up sight. This series has the semi pistol grip with a rounded profile stock. The serial number ‘S19332’ is stamped to the left hand side above the trigger and dates the gun between 1926 & 1933. The 14 ¼ “stock is in good condition with a number of minor age related marks which are to be expected with a gun of this age. The right hand side has ‘Lincoln N. Jeffries 140 Steelhouse Lane Birmingham’ and the Lincoln Jeffries Trademark clearly stamped to it. See page 124 of ‘The Book of the BSA Air Rifle 1905 to 1939’ by John Milewski for reference. The metalwork is in good order, retaining the majority of its colour, again with minor age related marks and the push button for the release catch on the under leaver works as it should. The top of the cylinder has been expertly tapped to accommodate a plate for the addition of an early telescopic sight (attached). The weapon also cocks loads and shoots as it should.
