5thBatt Posted 1 June , 2013 Share Posted 1 June , 2013 Has a mis-matched barrel & the butts been replaced but mostly still original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thBatt Posted 1 June , 2013 Author Share Posted 1 June , 2013 Note the serial number has been re stamped but wrong prefix! the original number still visible below nosecap. Small pattern windage wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thBatt Posted 1 June , 2013 Author Share Posted 1 June , 2013 These last 2 photos show the Lower band retaining pin, which was deleted around 1909/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thBatt Posted 1 June , 2013 Author Share Posted 1 June , 2013 BTW if you think this is a "safe queen" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitter2k1 Posted 1 June , 2013 Share Posted 1 June , 2013 Nice rifle! I still miss mine and for some reason never got around to buying another. And I feel the same way. It was made to shoot and that's exactly what I would do. The only safe queens I have are the ones I ran out of ammo for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thGordons Posted 1 June , 2013 Share Posted 1 June , 2013 Again an excellent example of the first year of MkIII production. My 1907 (also BSA, but although matching has not retained so many original features) is U5230 and is NSW marked. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Story Posted 3 June , 2013 Share Posted 3 June , 2013 Nice acquisition. Anything on the butt disc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shippingsteel Posted 3 June , 2013 Share Posted 3 June , 2013 Looks like it spent some time in Victoria at some stage (3MD). The 34357 ownership serial would equate to a circa 1917 marking if it was for Victorian usage. Cheers, S>S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thBatt Posted 11 June , 2013 Author Share Posted 11 June , 2013 Nice acquisition. Anything on the butt disc? Hi Story, Nothing on the disc but has a 3MD number stamped into the butt that does not match either of the struck-out numbers on the receiver.
