The BSA Marmite rifle

[Binners]

Stands back and waits......

[BSFNUT]

Well

I would give you 30 Bob for it

[Garvin]

Hmm.

Reblued over pitting... Looks too dark, too shiny. Still a very handsome rifle but not one for me, surprise, surprise.

[Shed tuner]

yes, I don't mind refinished rifles if they look "right" (I'm not a propper collector like most of you folks - I just shoot 'em).. but this is too black. A browner finish would have been much nicer, and been more complimentary to the slight pitting.

[Hsing-ee]

I really like it, better than the original. Scope and full length stock would be good as well.

[averageplinker]

If it was in poor condition to start off with why not?

[lightning22]

I like it, though I think given the surface condition I’d have rust blued it.

[ogilkes]

This is the one to use in the field. Looks ace, but no issue of it gets dent.

[slow_runner]

I would willingly dig deep and give you 20 quid for it; then leave it outside for a few days and nights to get that 'patina' every Morris makes noises about.
Never mind my offer. Of equal or more important concern, does it shoot well?

[ogilkes]

This is the one to use in the field. Looks ace, but no issue of it gets dented.

[jedburgh]

Is this the one from Protek ?

[Binners]

Is this the one from Protek ?

I couldn't possibly say

[Troubledshooter]

This is the one to use in the field. Looks ace, but no issue of it gets dented.

For what it's worth, that would be my opinion as well.

[Binners]

I am trying to live with it
It may grow on me
But I very much doubt it, better suited to an American

No, much better as a used bell target gun for a youngster or diminutive lady. Not a big fan of the finish but not a common gun so worth having just because of what it is.
