I think you will find that a lot of the old BSA's gave a good account of themselves when it came to putting meat on the table. Especially during both world wars, when firearms ammunition was almost impossible to get, a wide variety of projectiles where cobbled together to keep the BSA's in action. Many Rabbits, Pigeons, Rooks, Pheasants etc etc must have fallen foul of these guns in genuine times of need, to supplement the meager food rations. If only they could tell the story of their individual history and previous ownership. What a story each gun would tell.......
