Info on BSA Mercury please

[Miken]

Hi folk, I was offered a BSA Mercury today but it was really rusty and stock split, my question is can any body date it for us please?

The only number i can find is under the breech. TE4925

I've had a look on Chambers site but can't find that number. it has the one piece cocking arm. thanks.

Atb, Mike

if its defo a mercury it may have had a meteor barrel fitted at some point as they both fit the same it should have mercury on the cylinder between the scope rail maybe worth sticking a photo up

Cheers guys, yes definitely a Mercury, has it on the cylinder as you say. I can't get a photo as i turned it down, it was a wreck unfortunately.

Sounds like it's a bitsa then.

Thanks for looking and the link Weebster.
