    MK 1 Airsporters

    Hello all,

    I’m not too sure if I read, heard or even dreamt it, but is it correct that ALL MK1 Airsporters have the BSA square logo stamped into the L/H side of the stock ???

    Thanks,

    Sam

    Mine doesnt, but it has a one piece stock made by sile in italy....apparently they contracted out woodwork from time to time, and also it is quite a late mark 1 at 1957 and they had been making them for 10 years by then!

    Only the 'G' prefix rifles, and some early 'GA's had the BSA impression in the stock.

    Mine is a GA (55/56) and doesn't have the Stamp mark.

    Mine is a GB 1958 and doesn't have the impression.
    My Dad bought it new so it is original.

    Its in the hiller book of airguns....."the company was Sile SPA, Brescia...BSA contracted out the manufacture of some of their stocks for the airsporter MK1"....(sic)
