When I posted that both Mr. Haddoke and Mr. Weiland gave BSA short shrift in their books I did not mean to imply either criticized them. They just had little to say.

There has been an article in "Shooting Sportsman" fairly recently regarding BSA guns. I haven't found it yet in my stack but I know I remember it. That article was where I first saw a BSA that looked just like the one I posted here in my original post.

I said to myself then that if I ever saw one like that for sale, I'd try to buy it. When this one came up I jumped on it...Geo
