Grew up shooting a BSA Sportsman 10 in Australia with my dad. Got a semi auto .22 when I moved here but quickly got tired of the novelty of it. Got myeslf a BSA Sportsman 15 a few months ago and I absolutely adore it. 70 years old and still runs like a dream.
Note: I took the ugly white extender off.
Those are a good rifle yet to see ine that doesnt shoot
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!
hi all anyone know much about bsa majestic 222 i have a majestic in 222 nice wee gun cheers
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 . . . .
As promised - a very original Supersport

I need to shoot my phone camera . . . .
She's the real deal @bluecod1967, complete with period mounts & scope. Nice :)
barrels tidy despite the use its had i swapped a new nhm90 223 for it so i couldnt resist i wanted out of the 223 nhm90 they other chap wanted a wallaby gun.would love to know how old or what the production numbers were for these
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).
hi rod thanks very much for the info rifle came from chch cheers
heres a little bsa 22 pump action box mag Attachment 100367Attachment 100368
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
Hi @bluecod1967 Your Majestic was made between 63 and 66 :thumbsup: so just a few years older than you;)
hi thanks very much sideshow
I have a small job at a tourist park early tomorrow morning. To shoot a fallow stag they no longer want low noise and head shot only so the Hunter came out of the safe for the first time in 10 yrs.I thought it prudent to check zero after all that time and it needed a tweak to the right.
The rifle and ammo.Attachment 101102
The price paid for 50 rnd box in today's money $4.50.
Attachment 101103
And the group before a tweak right.

very nice rifle great grouping also,unfortunately for me my majestic doesnt have the original mag follower or spring,the spring is a cf2 one it works but the mag follower is a cut down one that only works with 2 rounds in it at one time so now the hunt begins mag follower for 222 or cut down another one and make it work.
solved that wee problem i have a rough monarch so i swapped the follower fits like it should
Nice rifle john m and good grouping. Have same model myself. Had it for years. Got 2 boxes of ammo with rifle when I bought it. Winchester Super Speed 50 gr soft point. Yellow and red box has 24/- price and date 4/8/55 written on box. Don't use old ammo as reload. I see a Hunter .222 on Trade Me at the mo for $3000.
I reload too but nothing shoots as well in this rifle as the old Sako ammo. Still got 70 or so rounds left, reloads are good just not as good.
Does anyone know how to disassemble the extractor out of a BSA Majestic bolt?
It's funny people go apeshit over BSA rather German or anything actually no appeal so move on

Well, you could have just moved on without making a comment.
This isn't German. It's a BSA. 'Cause that's what the threads about.

I’ll see if there’s anything in my book on them @Carlsen Highway
@NRT
Well start a thread about anshutz, mauser, sauer, rigby, mannlicher, husquvarna etc. whatever floats your boat. You have read this whole forum haven't you?
You do realise that most of us on here like or at least appreciate pretty much everything. This one just happens to be about BSA's. If you started one about any of the above you would see similar responses. With the exception of the mauser based rifles, I would suggest there are a bucket load of BSA's so maybe more to pick from?
Twat.
@Carlsen Highway nice stock on the 303 BTW
Use a screwdriver to push down on the plunger and then slide the extractor out sideways. I have a spare new one here if you ever need one.
What, you came on this thread to troll people? That is not an honourable past time. Your mana is diminished.
I like Mausers as well. But there are a great many poorly made Mauser rifles out there. You can't beat the featherweight Imperials, Viscounts, Hunters and Majestics for a Nz huntign rifle. Decades ahead of their time, and vastly better made than most American rifles. And I love the Winchester model 70's too.
That .303 I posted the picture of is a commercial Lee Speed sporting rifle. (Which were made at BSA of course.) It's much better looking in real life than that photo. Ive got a better one somewhere.
