Addendum

.22 No. 5 Trials Rifle

Many thanks to Warren for sharing photo’s of his beautiful .22 No. 5 to add to the trainers list.

The .22 No. 5 was initially designed to be a competition rifle, thus the fine adjustment rear sight and tunnel forsight. Approximately 105 were produced at BSA Shirley making them a rare piece.

For the collector one can notice that both the No. 7 and No. 8 trainers were born from this trials. Please note the bolt arrangement, which gave the No.7 & 8‘s non-standard system, the side wall ejector and the 5 round magazine (some .22 No. 5’s were issued with just a loading platform instead of the 5 round mag).
