Scope on Prewar BSA.

[Arch.Stanton?]

..the scope rail was done 'in period' , and I belive that BSA had a specific mount for the Standard . One collecter /dealer did tell me the designation or makers code but memory and time .... believe it was a specific Parker Hale .

I bought this rifle, so modified at a local gun auction about ten years ago. the scope rail had been made out of sheet metal and the bolted through the cylinder, then the bolts were also welded, so it now cannot be removed. I am glad I own it as it has allowed me to explore the true inherent accuracy of these old BSA's. They are far more accurate that most people realise, ( or more importatly can achieve for themselves with opn sights) however all that said. I personally wouldnt have added it to one of my guns, as I like them as original as possible.
