BSA Stocks

[Airsporterman]

Thanks fellas,the early three piece Airsporter items must have taken some considerable skill to produce.

I believe they came about due to the difficulty in obtaining full size blanks (esp following the war years) they could be made up from shorter pieces - probably not the best solution but one that got past the problem. It's unlikely they did it from choice.
BSA often had problems sourcing materials for stocks - probably why they elected to import stocks from SILE in Italy on at least one occasion.
