Hi,Roger,
I just checked the receiver at the location you inquired about and I found an "A.P." and a crown, 19 and some other mark not descernable. If I am not looking in the right area let me know and I"ll dig further.

It has N ^ Z on both the barrel and receiver ring
Hello Gil. It may be that the rifle was linished up with the loss of some markings when it was converted to .22. It's clearly a nice desirable item regardless. I really like the .22 trainers as you've all the history & charisma of the full house version, with the ability to shoot it where space or noise constraints apply. It's also a cheap shooter as well, comparing the cost of .303 ammo to .22!
Thanks Roger,
The difference in ammo dollars is quite a bit.
I have a lot of .22 cal but not much .303
Not much recoil either. LOL
Must be a SSA if the markings that remain are Crown GR 1917 if it was another factory the name would remain as that would be between the GR & 1917
Yes, because of the relative positions of the cypher, manufacturer, designation & date. I was just meaning that it's possible the SSA that you'd expect to be at rear left might have got lost at some point, like if someone with a linisher got near it when it was converted. It would be unusual I know, but like you, I'd lay odds it's a Peddled Scheme rifle.

I guess this will probably end the speculation....
There is a BSA.CO
