    The usual cause of such problems is a rough chamber, normally caused by trying to take too large cuts. The reamer must be withdrawn , cleaned and lubed, many times, especially when getting near the...

    I am running ADI Benchmark 2 with the 69 grain Sierra BTHP Match in my Tikka 20" 8" twist .223 at the maximum listed load of 23.5 grains. There are no pressure signs but it is very accurate at 0.5...

    That was a BSA factory accessory known as a 'Range Adapter'. You attached it over the muzzle brake when you were on a shooting range to avoid discomfort to other shooters from the side blast. I...

    Joe90 has accurately summed it up, and Longshot's suggestion of alchemy pretty much matches my own thoughts. I have often said that successful gunsmiths are also alchemists! The ability to 'create...

    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...

    This photo is BSA relevant. This is a 10 pointer I shot in Amphitheatre Creek, Avoca, in 1976. The rifle is a BSA Hunter in .308. He had a harem of 5 hinds and I had been tracking him for most of...

    I got my first BSA on my 16th birthday - a 1917 BSA SMLE that was FTR'd to new condition. I eventually sporterised it after a few hunting trips in the fully wooded condition, and it shot a lot of...

    Go for the 1:12 which will handle 125 -150 grainers well. The heavier bullets are not needed where we are!

    The extra work involved in fitting a barrel to an early BSA (or any other rifle with a Mauser type extractor) is about 30-45 minutes. Not a big deal but it does require some hand work. It could be...
