Hi all,
I recently bought, at auction, a BSA standard .22 air rifle. Nothing special about it and I already have a nice .22 standard but this one had one thing I have been looking for for a long time. A BSA no 22 rear sight (If I am correct, the 22 has the adjuster for distance and not windage, or is that the no 21? Well this one only has the distance adjuster).
I got the rifle quite cheap and from the look of the pictures the gun was in a poor state. It just arrived today and after closer inspection it is not that bad. I got some steel wool and some oil and the rust just flew off! The bluing is not that bad to be frank. My original idea was to rob the stock and sight off this and put a spare stock I have laying around on it and then sell it.
It is missing the normal rear sight (but I have parts laying around I can use).
The only thing I am worried about is that someone in the past has ground off the serial number.......I can faintly make out a 4693 and that is it.
Ill upload some images:
