    BSA light pattern query

    Hello guys.

    I finally got myself a light pattern BSA at the recent fair, but when I got home I realised that in all the excitement I did not notice that the trigger block is not from the light pattern, but is from standard. The rifle shoots well, but this discrepancy will be an eyesore to me.

    Does anyone have a light pattern trigger block with the right trigger guard with the longer tang?

    I am also Considering selling it for 180, what I got it for to those who are not as picky as me for the rifle being "complete". But would try the trigger block replacement first.

    Images here.

    Personally I think £180 would be plenty if it did have the right trigger block..
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    I have not seen anything below £200 in my search for a light pattern. Often £230-260. So you are saying that in the current condition 180 is too much?

    Maybe prices have moved up, but yes, I would have thought an average condition (but correct) light patten would be around £200, like this one: https://www.airgunbbs.com/showthread...ttern-for-sale

    Thought that was a good price too. Shame I missed it. What would be a fair price for one like mine?

    You also have a standard pattern cocking lever. Have you inquire that it may be a light pattern or junior model of a standard might be a rare one. Whats the serial number. You don't want to get rid of it or alter it if its a genuine mod for a customer by BSA you might regret getting rid of it as a rare bit of kit. I assume the trigger block was changed thats if, as an improvement over the early trigger units.
    Although you have the gap for a tang on the trigger guard area on the stock, how do you know that the stock is a replacement, the original stock broken. With the trigger block and cocking lever of a standard, i would be more inclined to think the stock is the odd one out, although both light pattern and standard stocks are similar in shape.
