BSA Stutzens and RB2 Stutzens???

[R. P. McMurphy]

Any idea how many of these were produced??? Reason I ask is that you very rarely see either for sale and Ive allways fancied one since I was a little lad!

Hello ,

about 3-4 years back I wanted an RB2 , I eventually found a new one ,
but in the process I phoned John Knibbs and he could'nt find or didnt have a decent 2nd hand one. So I tried BSA themselves . I was told by the factory customer support that the RB2 didnt sell too well in the UK , so BSA upped the power and exported them to the Middle East , where the Arabs snapped them up.

Truth or Rumour , I have no idea , but thats what BSA told me.

The action in the Stutzen is an Airsporter Carbine.

I have a RB Stutzen and an Airsporter Carbine taploader.
