This is one of only 79 rifles converted by B.S.A Guns, contracted between July 27, 1935 and completed by Dec 9, 1938. The scope and rifle are "all matching" with "all correct" fonts and markings for collector comparisons.

There are several follow up sections with additional pics noted in the "Collector's Feedback and Comments" section of the main library entry, showing the "Fianna Fiel" and BSA font and stamping examples with extreme close-ups, which are helpful in spotting incorrect or reproduction components. There's also a follow up note discussing a No.3 MkI* (T) Rifle (BSA Scope), which is currently being offered for auction on the Internet.

We're not sure how many of these rifles exist and are in the hands of visitors to our site, however, if there are any others and you'd like to help build on the accuracy and content of this library entry, then please email us at badger@milsurps.com.
