    The BSA Sportsman rifles were good and accurate but the split rear bridge meant they had to have a side mount for a scope. They were never much good as they flexed too much. I used to fit a fixed bridge just in front of the bolt handle, alter the bolt handle to a low recurve shape and fit a conventional top mount. I did lots of them and they made a very good scoped rifle. You don't see them much these days. I also used to make a lot of firing pins for them as they were easily lost when the bolt was out of the rifle. 'Fiddlers' used to turn the bolt handle when the bolt was out and they would slip off the bolt which allowed the firing pin to fall out. 'Fiddlers' still keep gunsmiths busy!

    Hello Guys

    Anyone interested in a BSA Supersport in 22LR. Its in nice original condition, complete with magazine and functions fine. Its isn't grooved or tapped, so is strictly open sights unless you want to defile it (which most people counsel against, but I reckon it just makes the remainder more valuable). I have the correct weaver bases for it and was going to glue them on (works well with epoxy, usually).

    Photo coming . . . .

    I bought that majestic action and stock that was for sale. I reckon a fast twist 6mm remington would be a perfect light weight rig for the rifle, I have every other calibre, throat it for the berger 105'S ?

    A nice 1960's .222 Majestic! The scope rings are JNT (John Turner of Turner & Le Brun, the last 'real' hunting and fishing shop in Ch-Ch, bare wooden floors and racks and cabinets filled with shooting and fishing gear, upstairs workshop and a hole in the floor downstairs for test-firing, closed in the early 1970's).

    I like the box mag thing way better than a tube. First one I've ever seen though (of any breed). Cant be many around anymore.

    That pump looks like it needs a good oil ?... I've never seen one before either. Maybe someone should start a "rustic" gun-shop, when I was a kid, we'd always go into Lissingtons (PN)..as above, wooden floors, gun-racks and an air-rifle range at the rear... a few cents for a few shots,old BSA .177, that range would have encouraged heaps of young people over the years
