Hi Guys,
I acquired a BSA .177 Air Rifle and am trying to establish what model it is, all I can find on the gun is a serial number ”B42892” stamped on the main chamber and the motif “BSA” embossed on the wooden stock.
Is there any way to establish what model and year of manufacture from the serial number?
Thanks for any input,
Brian.

Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
JB, thanks the quick response, from what I can gather I need a few more posts before I can post a picture but because I am technical challenged posting a picture could be a problem......but I will try!
BTW... although I live in Bracknell now I am a bit of a import being originally from “up North” ......."Ee Ba Gum”
The B prefix from what i have found seem's to be either A breakdown pattern .177 1932-1939 , Or a cadet .177 1946-1947.
No, nothing to do with post count, sales is the only place pictures can be directly attached on this forum.
You either use a host site like imgbb / imgur which you need to join (free) or use postimages.org & copy/paste the pic address in to your thread.
There's a sticky on how to post pic's.
[QUOTE=micky2;8224976]Hi is it a break barrel or under lever.[/QUOTE
Thanks for the replies so far, its a break barrel type and the actual barrel is 47cm in length, the whole gun is 104cms long. The stock runs under the air chamber.
Dont know if this will work but here is a link to my Flickr Album,

Try looking on the vintage airgun gallery. you should be able to see your gun on there.
As per post no.5
'B' series serial number
Stock runs forward of the trigger guard
It's a BSA Cadet, just post war
Length of 104cm confirms
OK, I think you will be able to see the pictures now
