I wonder if it could be a John Bowkett tuned model. I know he is able to lengthen the pressure chamber.

I hope that this is the right room.
I am stumped. I bought this rifle today. It has got BSA Guns stamped on the barrel .22 calibre. I can't identify it from the usual sources so does anybody have any suggestions?
(1) The top rifle shows my BSA Ultra - a single shot .22 with a Serial No. 6B2858.
(2) The bottom rifle is the BSA (?) that I require information about. It is also a .22 rifle with a Serial No. 2B1824. The cocking is the same as the Ultra; the airchamber is the same but longer; the barrel is the same but longer apart from it not being threaded on the end. It has an attachment for a threaded silencer. There is no BSA logo on the heal of the stock but the bolt loading action is the same as the Ultra but has no safety catch.
I am sure there is a logical explanation but I can't see the wood from the trees. Thanks in anticipation. Old Bull

It is indeed an early Hornet, i have 2 here the same, the early ones did not have the laser etched writing on the breech.

Moved to collectors, they'll tell you who made it, and what the weather was when it was made.
