    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...

    Not Invercargil, it was Allan Millar in Dunedin and mainly for the BSA Hunter and Majestic rifles. The castings were of the extended box only and fitted the factory metal.

    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...

    The regulation is designed to catch club ranges. Sighting-in on a mates property is just the same as hunting on that property. So long as you are entitled to be there and observe all safety protocols...
