1960 BSA L1A1 BDL FTR

[Brit plumber]

I have one of it's older Brothers, UB60 A91627. I also need to refinish mine, numerous coats of thick Sunc to remove! Unfortunately its deactivated, done back in 1986 so at least its not solid. It's odd to think it was live for 26 years and has been deactivated for 30!

1986 is an early deac, presumably with the old Birmingham Proof exemption certificate ("This rifle was presented for proof, but could not be because it has been deactivated, blah blah blah" )

Nice light touch on these early examples, very good find!

Any chance of a few pics?
