I have a CF2 that I am using the action for a project. Can anyone tell me if the trigger guard plate is supposed to be flat or have a slight curve.
Does anyone have a magazine floor plate and a catch sitting around doing nothing?
Thanks

@feratox I’ll have a look for you in the morning to see if there’s any bend in the two that I have.
I do have a spare here.
Thanks that would be awesome
Guy's,
What do you run for mounts/rings on your CF2's?
I'm looking at Conetrols but will consider period gloss rings if they are minimalist!
Right @Fireflite have a look in the thread https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....ngs-bsa-41740/
You might get some more info there.
The base plate is flat.

I’ll sell you this one for $45.00 plus postage. Attachment 106893
There’s a chip from the paint work but otherwise in top nick.
Scope mounts are the same as the Rem 700. Off the top of my head I think I’ve got Warren on mine. But the choice is huge.
Thanks Sideshow I'll take it. Do you have the magazine cover too? Thanks
Hi feratox sorry no magazine covers or bottoms are as rear as hens teeth.
I have a .270 Monarch Featherweight that I am giving a much needed tidy-up.
Does anyone have a magazine floor plate and a catch that they are willing to part with?
No such rifle as a monarch featherweight. Which is it.
I picked up a CF2 in 308 a last week. As expected it needs a wee bit of love, mag spring is broken but still there. Best place to find another spring?
The other fun quirk the the floorplate catch is "sticky" for want of a better word. Push the catch in to release the mag floor plate and it doesn't like to pop back out. I've taken it out of the stock to give everything a clean but does it need to get stripped further, bits cleaned and oiled again?

This BSA started off standard and in british hand in ww2
Following the war it was acquired by the Israeli's who made the scope and put it into sniper circulation.
wood is not original, it was restored by Rodger Payne in the 1980's
Shoots bloody well.
possibly for sale in the near future... it's one I'll regret selling
Is thier anyone who has a bsa majestic 223 stock laying around ?? Or know anyone who can make a stock worthy of this brand of rifle..
@feratox how is that bottom plate treating you?
It's treating me fine, cheers. Have yet to get that part cerakoted. She's not the prettiest of rifles or the lightest, especially with that scope, but it seemstoshootwell enough. Attachment 137175
The top hole is a sighter, other was 3 shot group at about 150m. Didn't want to shoot anymore after that.... would have just ruined the picture.

I agree, in great nick for an older rifle.
@Sideshow has contacted me and asked me to re-post photo's of a BSA CF2 I purchased a year or more back. It is in the mighty .222 and was a little unusual . Firstly it had been a deer cullers rifle and the barrel was shot out.
A guy I tracked down who had brought it off the old culler had it re- barreled and it shot very well with well under sub MOA with a variety of 50 gr factory ammo.
However the most unusual feature was some very nice gun smithing with the making of a drop out box mag.
The system worked well and feed good as gold when shooting.
I have since on sold the rifle to a friend as for a left handed shooter it was very uncomfortable with that high sharp comb.
Sideshow has further story / content to add to this little ramble which for other BSA shooters may find interesting.Attachment 137213Attachment 137214Attachment 137215Attachment 137216
Thats a Tikka LSA55 7 5 shot mag, nice conversion
Hey all anyone fitted a Carbon fiber stock to a CF2?
Mine lovley walnut job is taking a few knocks lol just wondered if anyone has gone this way cheers
I remember reading one of the older books about this rifle,type of rifle being used.
the culler bought it before the sako vixen etc were around and as it had bigger/stronger action being a .308 bolt/action size had it loaded up rather warmly. was shooting thar etc with it in mt cook region and being smaller cartridge they could hold on to schrubbery and shoot it one handed when needed.
the large capacity magazine and small cartridge made it a very good combination for comercial work.
Im guessing here,his reloading was probably done with whackamole lee loader as I cannot see a bench mounted press being used in huts etc.
the sako ammunition shown above...has anyone tried to reverse engineer it???
BSA Martini action.
Lovely wee rifle, and deadly accurate.
Restocked with NZ Red Beech.

284 Win belonging to @Forestry ??
I was given a plastic Winchester stock by @dannyb and fitted this to my CF2.
A Rem 700 stock would work too.
I converted the rifle to 'blind mag' and did away with all the heavy die cast bottom metal and just cut and shaped a piece of Ali plate to fill the gap in the stock, as the stock didnt come with any bottom metal and the BSA wouldnt fit. Bedded and filled the gaps, shoots half inch no probs
A factory Rem varmint stock or B&C would be my pick, a stock with a decent hand filling fore-end as the CF2 is still a heavy rifle. A thin walled carbon stock is going to be ruined and hard to mod.
Thanks @Moa Hunter. Thought as much might trim some off the barrel. It’s 24”…..22” would be just as good.
Just dug it out, can't find the spring.
