Gunshow find

[smle addict]

I drove up to Sparks, Nevada for the "Big Reno Gun Show." I have always heard this was a good show to attend, but had never made the 550 mile trip until yesterday. It was well worth the effort.

I managed to find a "Rifle, Long, .22 inch RF Mk I*" This rifle was commercially produced by BSA & Co. No markings other than the BSA Co script on the right side of the butt socket. All matching except the bolt. Bolt is correct for this model. Rear sight graduated for 22RF.

This rifle came out of an Eastern Oregon estate sale, and it's stock is extremely dry. The seller also had an immaculate RIC carbine, a NZ carbine, and a Long Lee shortened for club/range use.

Paid $1175 (862 GBP). Not cheap, but not priced into the stratosphere like the Colts, Winchesters, magazines and ammunition.

enjoy the pics.
