Spot on Steve. That's certainly my understanding.
Interesting point though. I wonder if BSA would have accommodated an order for a .25 if a customer was insistent.
And yes, as far as I know, the 43 inch were all .177 and 45 were .22 Stevegv8.
Kind regards,

Currently looking for Baikal Makarov pistols with the following prefixes to the serial number: 98, T01, T09, T21, T22
Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.
