Brian, Lakey estimated a 3:1 ratio in his previous post. That seems as good an estimate as any to me. I suppose the best way available to narrow it down would be to use 'big data' techniques and tot up the ratios of straight- to pistol-hand stocks across the various pre-WW1 model galleries in the vintage BSA forum. I don't have the time, but a retired person might...

Hi Danny,
You offering me a job! Seriously though, with so much time on my hands I might just try and look a bit deeper into this, but 3:1 also sounds about right from my personal experience.
Having read Lakey's post again, he as you rightly say, estimates 75% of the rifles were sold with with standard "Pistol Hand" stocks and his along with your own, is probably as informed an opinion as you are likely to get.
Regards
Brian
