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. In 1907 BSA used the term ‘ordinary pattern’ to differentiate the full length .177 from the light pattern, and by 1909 the company was calling the full length rifles the standard pattern. 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). The price for this piece of history includes UK delivery. AI 603. £395.00

SOLD SOLD (29/03) *Excellent/Late 1930-1935 BSA Standard 4th Series .177 Air Rifle (L Prefix). 21842. - 21842 The fourth series was the final series to contain ‘L’ and ‘S’ prefixed rifles. Once more, the primary visual difference was in the stock, as BSA introduced a revised angular pattern with a much more pronounced pistol grip. Some late 4th series rifles falling into the L38000 to L40000 serial number range and dating from 1935 had features like the earliest A series, such as one hole trigger blocks. This example has its serial number ‘L38742’ has its serial number stamped lower on the trigger block, nearer to the trigger on the left-hand side of the block. Other late 4th series features are flat rather than rounded tops to the breech blocks, around the loading hole and the presence of an underlever axis pin rather than the screw that was fitted to earlier rifles (see page 120 of The Book of the BSA Air Rifle 1905 to 1939 by John Milewski – also available on our site). The metalwork retains much of its blueing with only very minor signs of age-related wear. The woodwork is excellent with a few marks which is to be expected. The walnut is in good condition and has the BSA letters carved in relief amongst the chequering on both sides *mark to right hand side*. The rifle has been chrono-graphed and cocks, loads and fires as it should. The price for this scarce rifle includes UK delivery. 21842. £0.00
