BSA Cadet Major .177

A nice BSA (Birmingham Small Arms) Cadet Major air rifle in .177. Dimensions, overall length:42”. Stock length: 684mm. Barrel length: 468mm. Weight: 2.5kg. Earlier stocks on both models had a cross grain strengthener in the grip and the rear trigger guard screw held the action to the stock, sometime around 1948 this changed to a more traditional locking stock bolt. The Major comes with an adjustable rear sight. See ‘The Collectors Guide To Air Rifles’ pages 35-38 by Dennis.E.Hillier. This example is still retains its original blueing. The serial number is printed on the left hand side at the very rear of the cylinder: CC25509 which dates the gun between 1955 and 1957. The wooden stock is in excellent condition. The barrel blueing is a little worn underneath due to cocking, but the rest of the metal retains the majority of its colour. A lovely gun for the collector. The loading and firing actions work as they should. The price includes UK delivery.
