1915 BSA

Post by sakorick » Mon Oct 01, 2012 7:48 am

I was cleaning my1915 BSA that had a replacement forend and few cartouches. It was the first Enfield I ever purchased at a gun show in Kansas City some 10 years ago. The gentleman said the rifle was matching and it was a good WWI British example. I think I gave around 100 dollars for the piece. I removed the rear handguard and noticed this stamp. I knew immediately what it was because I read Skennerton front to back. I was thinking about selling the rifle.....not now! Regards, Rick.

Fiana Fail marking, nice one Rick.I wouldn't sell it either.
The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it.

Can you believe I've owned this for 10 years and never knew it was a Fianna Fail until just now! I wonder how many others are out there "undiscovered"? It's a nice looking rifle too. Regards, Rick.
