Airsporter Mk1
Reading this thread has lead me to getting mine out of the wardrobe today. It's been ages since I've had it out of the case. Anyway, it's a Mk1, 0.22, serial number GA920 which dates it around 1955 if my memory serves me right.
There's a couple of questions I'd like to ask the experts on here about early Airsporters.
Firstly, mine has scope grooves but the absence of any etching leads me to think it's been re-blued at sometime as it's in quite nice condition for a 61yr old. Did they all have the etching on them? Mine has no stamping anywhere except the serial number near the trigger guard.
Next question, my stock does not have the "BSA" logo pressed into it, so does this suggest it's a Mk2 stock, as my old Mk2 didn't have it either, or was it that not all Mk1 stocks where marked? It is 3 piece walnut.
I've only owned it for a year or so and I got it locally here in Cornwall.
