C1927 BSA Standard Second Series .22 Underlever Air Rifle with ‘S’ prefix. AI 603. - AI 603 The serial No S36694 dates this rifle to circa: 1927 (the series were made between 1922 & 1929). A 3 hole trigger block replaced the earlier 2 hole version when serial numbers reached around S14000 towrds the end of 1922. When mention is made of the BSA the Standard No1 and Standard No2 spring to mind, but it should be remembered that BSA referred to their full length .177 and .22 air rifles as the standard.

This example is in good condition with some blueing missing to expose the nice metalwork. The wooden stock is showing minor signs of age-related wear and is the correct pre-WWII item *slight damage to the butt of the stock. The rifle has been chronographed and cocks, loads and fires as it should. See page 124 in ‘The Book of the BSA Air Rifle 1905 to 1939’ by John Milewski for reference (available on our website).
