two different ser. numbers on barrel and comp.tube , not original barrel/tube. numbers would match on original rifle. no big deal, if rifle is in good condition price should be in $200-$300 U.S. range, more or less depending on cond. AL ..ser.#1063 pre. 1970 best guess 1965-66

Hi Alb77,

I suspect that all BSF rifles have different numbers on the barrel and the receiver. See my this photo http://www2.snapfish.com/thumbnailsh...8/t_=127577558 from my mint BSF S54 Bavaria. The numbers can be quite easily seen and although I did not buy the rifle new, I have had it for decades and it appears to be totally standard. I bought it in UK from the original purchaser. Except for wildly varying trigger pull let-off weight, It's a really nice item.

Marc.

in common!
