Question....BSA sniper

[Roger Payne]

I've seen three distinct variations of (walnut) Canadian cheekpieces Brian; an early type as fitted to a 39L rifle I owned many years ago that was not identical but very similar to most UK types, & two chunkier varieties seen on later (such as 71L & 90L) rifles. Of these later types one pattern was 'taller & thinner' & one was 'chunkier' from side to side. But both types are a bit meatier than corresponding UK examples. I'll try & get some photo's when I get a minute.

Hi Roger, I know what you mean about the chunkier Canadian ones. I've a 39L and as well as being walnut as you mentioned, the cheekpiece has a distinctly different profile from my BSA one. A few pics of my two.

distinctly different profile

Yes they do. That's a good comparison...
