Coburn,

The early production ,two hole trigger block models did not have an adjustable trigger. The trigger pull was set at the factory and then marked on the underside of the stock immediately behinf the trigger guard. These marking are often hardly visible as they wear off over the years. They take the shape of a triangle with a number inside followed by LB. The number corresponds to the trigger pull. (ie 5lb = 5LB trigger pull).Lakey

Lakey I have just resurrected this old thread as I have noticed that the markings on mine are a C followed by 27 inside the triangle. Does this mean the pull is 2lb 7 oz?

Further markings include 14 1/4 stamped on the underside of the stock - I assume this is the length but begs the question were a range of stock lengths available?

Many thanks

Hi Copperjacket,

Hmmmm, not sure about the 2lb 7oz trigger pull weight. From memory I think I have only seen single figure pull weights marked. They are normally set a bit on the heavy side for safety sake, so 4-5lb are normally the range encountered. BSA did make a range of 3 stock sizes. 14 1/4" was the normal 'full size' stock fitted to the bigger .22 Standards, however you could specify any of the 3 stock sizes required when you ordered the gun. They were 14.25", 13.25" and 11.25" (I think ) however the 13.25" was often fitted to light pattern guns.

Hope that helps
