Description

For sale is an early BSA Cadet air rifle, serial number B51624, which dates it to between 1946 and 1949.

The rifle is in great condition for its age and considering this was an entry level gun intended for young shooters. Clearly this was once some lucky lad's pride and joy!

The metalwork has had some surface rust, but aside from a couple of small pitted areas (right where dirty little fingers would have been on the foreend), this has cleaned to a lovely plum/blue patina. Likewise, the woodwork is, aside from a couple of very small blemishes, in great condition.

Internally, the gun operates beautifully, and the internals appear to be in great condition and corrosion free. The main O-ring is looking a little tired, but still gives a good seal.

An unusually fine example of this rifle in its original finish.

£70 collected from Rushden, Northamptonshire, or I will post recorded delivery at buyers expense.
