The latest oldie 56 Vintage BSA Hunter

Hi All,

Well after a wait I got to pick up this rifle it's a 1956 Vintage BSA Hunter in .222 Remington, a true Modified short Mauser action of BSA's own design:-













Hope you like it, it seems that the magazine only holds three rounds, I expected it to hold more it has some surface rust on the magazine floorplate which I will consider what to do about. The blacking on the barrel is wearing thin and that on the bolt knob is worn off. I am looking for a rear sight for it to fill the dovetail in the barrel. Am sure I have one somewhere Now I just need tog et it listed on my licence for shootign to test it out. At the moment it's for collection only

Oh the scope is only to see what it looks like on the rifle. The rings are actually B-Square Weaver rings and don't fit the BSA's dovetails properly.
