Thread: BSA .220 Long Rifle

Hi all,

I am helping out a friend who has inherited a BSA that does not have a bolt or magazine, hopefully someone out there can help me. From what I can ascertain:

- It is stamped Birmingham Small Arms rifle,
- .220 Long Rifle,
- Serial number on breech = L3876,
- Have been advised that it may be a 1908 model?
- It has a brass butt plate, so could be a "Military Training Rifle" or "Cadet Training Rifle",
- Bolts from BSA Sportsman 5 and BSA Sportsman 10 do not fit,
- Magazine from a Sportsman 5 is too big and wrong shape,
- I don't believe that it is a .303 convert.

Hopefully the photos are attached.

Hopefully someone can assist.
