    Unusual BSA Scorpion pistol

    Can anyone shed some light on a Scorpion pistol with wire stock
    I think possibly a few were made as film props ?
    There are no markings at all,no makers name.

    I can provide pics,but cannot do so on this thread.

    If it’s the one I’m thinking of, the stocks were offered as an aftermarket accessory in the 1980s.

    Yep remember them being for sale, made one for my Scorpion, fixed by the rear fixing and grip bolts along the same lines.

    Is the wire stock anything like this:




    I don't know who made this particular one, but I do know another was made by Sportsmatch for a short while.
