Guess I was sweating what the answer would be, have a new to me BSA Standard on the way!

You just cant beat them. I have a early tidy one number 40ish if im correct.
i havn't shot a pre 1914 rifle but have a 1919 standard that has the cast trigger guard.i have seen the pre-war rifles and they do look very nicely made,the piston on my example is the longer,heavier one,if i remember correctly the pre-war rifles had the shorter,lighter pistons and supposedly made a little more power.i really like the look of the straight stock alternative.
I like them all!
Sorry Steve, I know that's of no help in answering your question.

Currently looking for Baikal Makarov pistols with the following prefixes to the serial number: 98, T01, T09, T21, T22
Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.
quite possible as my freshish .22 example has plenty of power.
