A BSA Sportster ID please. I've done a bit of research, mine's a straight barrel not tapered, small none adjustable rear sight that folds flat, the lever on the tap is straight with no tab area sticking out, i can't find the serial number, where did they hide it ??? there are 2 normal rail lines for scope mounts (i've seen 2 & 4 slots ? mentioned) plain stock no rubber butt pad, rear of the piston chamber slopes down like a Mercury break barrel & two slots on the forend one each side Ahhh light bulb moment maybe slots referred to the stock not scope mounting rails ??? Any idea where I can find the serial number & rough idea of age mk1 or mk11 & of course value approx in rough condition

Sounds like mk2 if slots referred to the scope rail not stock

Serial number should be just above trigger guard where the cocking lever & trigger block join together

Brilliant, thanks, found it under some paint. It's a GE so MK11 '65/67. Any idea of value as a rough do'er upper. Just a rough number guide will do for now.

I’m not sure on value depends on condition, always helps if you can show pictures of it I have mk1 & Mk2 & done a thread asking for an idea on valuation with my two Bsa’s have a look it should give you a rough value http://www.airgunbbs.com/showthread....rter-valuation
