    Nice one Lakey , I'l love to own 1 BSA underlever, yet you seem to trip over them on a regular basis .

    Just a couple of pictures for you, so as you know it is not a figment of my imagination

    First picture is of the breech, showing the magical Number 3





    second picture is a comparison shot of a .22 Improved model D breech next to the .25 Breech




    And last shot is the gun itself



    All the best

    I would try John Knibbs, or Chambers. But you will have to give the model name and the serial number (including any prefix). That is because BSA made a few variations, in the rear sight leaves and they are not interchangeable.

    .25

    You have done well I'd be interested to know how it performs in .25.

    Finally I am glad that it went to a genuine enthusiast and will be appreciated for what it is rather that for what its worth.
