Well yes and no, I know we all get fed up with them and to be honest I wasn't going to bother this time, but after pausing for thought, I did consider how would I feel if I naively paid this price for something I believed to be original later to find I had been conned. So please consider this more an education for the unknowing rather than a slating of the seller (but he does deserve one).
Fast forward to J C Militaria again and he has a bsa improved model B, rare in good condition, but it does not have the original stock fitted, it has a pre second war stock which is totally incorrect and I know most will know this straight away but I would hate anyone on here to pay that money for something totally wrong. All for the princely sum of £495. Why not just be honest or sell the action for a reasonable sum?
