Hmm. Lakeeeeeeeeeeeeeey, over here!

Quick guess: from the right - Mod D Juvenile, Mod D Junior, 2 x "L" ("A"?), Breakdown, BSA Air Rifle, Lincoln "H", Club no4, Mod D Standard, 3 x Standard "S"/"T"/Club no1, Mod D Sporting.

I'd hazard a guess that the one on the right has been 'cut and shut'.

A lot of the bits of the guns which would help (such as trigger guards and stocks etc) are missing....... but based on what i can see here goes

Spot on mate!, (I hope you didn't cheat and look at my other flikr pics)........I was hoping the mini-d would fool a couple of people

The one you thought may be a "T" standard has the last pattern cocking pivot, but is a 46 thousand series "S", with a straight hand stock....I got this a while ago at a very reasonable price, and it matches my sporting for accuracy, just one of those good'uns (shooting wise) that appears from time to time. I have a number 8 sight waiting to go this when time allows.

If you PM me your postal addy, I will send you your jamboree bag

Well I may have had a quick look at one or two of the other pictures in order to get the serial number 5756, which I then looked up in Knibbs in order to make it an H The Lincoln ( Third Batch) but I figured that was just using my own initiative and researching the answerEasier here;

Perhaps a good idea that the stocks weren't shown then as an .22 BSA Standard with a straighthand stock... Well that would have really confused me.......

I will of course understand if my extra " research" means I dont win the goody bag

All the best
