As for putting a scope on a BSA pre war underleaver
I have just such a beast. I bought it some years ago in a local auction and it has a 4X32 scope complete with high mounts on a Webley Mk3 Type spot welded ramp.
In my humble opinion the bloke what done it should be burnt alive at the stake
(but I am only a moderate )

Thanks Lakey, appreciated once again. I will look out for the book.
Finally, you mention:
If you want a No.1 Bore "full powered" Improved model D. The one you want would be an Standard Ordinary Pattern 43.5" Straight hand Stock model with a serial number between 65000 and 80000. these serial numbers are only approximate, however within these ranges you would be 98% sure of getting a rifle produced during the 1914 to 1918 period.
Was the pistol stock not a standard feature (option?) then?
Don't have one for sale do you?!!!

Felix,
You could have a choice - Pistol Grip stock or Straight hand (which was cheaper) I believe there are more pistol Grip stocks around than straight hand but I could be wrong?
As for one for sale? I don't at the moment but I will let you know if I locate an example of what you are looking for.
All the best
Lakey

You're a gentleman. Just afraid by starting this topic and judging by some replies I might be competing with a few others now...

Felix,
They made 80,000 of them, I am sure there should be enough to go around.
Your requirements are a little more detailed than most I would guess, but I will keep my eye's peeled.

B.S.A Improved Model D
Hello chaps, just for information the rifle i have here s/no 21001 measures 45.5 inches, so i take from your post that it will be a `sporting`.....I have recently fallen in love with a `lightning xl`after being an airsporter man for years... but always had B.S.A at heart I do love tradition and continuity..

Hello Mark,
You have a great air rifle there and one of the most desirable early Bsa's.
These were the first volume produced rifled examples, of what was then a new airgun calibre - .22 - Generally everything was .177 or .25 before this.
Had the Germans invaded, I reckon it would have been a very unlucky Jerry that got shot with that !
Best Regards Morgan

Anyone got any thoughts on the merits of .22 vs .177 on rifles of this era (power/accuracy/characteristics/pellet drop etc)? I have little experience in this area...
