We receive many enquiries for spares for rifles manufactured by B.S.A. (Birmingham Small Arms Co.).
The current position (mid 2007) is fortunately not entirely hopeless, but spares availability is every year reducing. With few dealers holding significant stock, such remaining original items as they possess are suffering ongoing depletion. If you hold parts you wish to sell, then let us know and we will add your contact details to this page.
It can still be economically viable, and often the simplest way out, to purchase another complete rifle for cannibalisation, either privately for one's own use or, as do some dealers, for trade purposes. However, this is not best practice unless the rifle being broken up is truly past further possible service. It is far preferable that intact rifles remain as such.
We have been made aware of a very few U.K. traders who hold limited spares, and of at least one who manufactures some replacement parts. When passing on that information to all and sundry, we accept no responsibilty for any dealings or communications that may arise out of use of that information. We offer this information without prejudice, have no connection with those individuals' trading, and are neither making recommendations nor receiving any commission on any sales - that is not what this website is about. We are here solely to assist shooters and collectors of classic rifles.
If you are looking for parts for your cherished B.S.A. rifle, you could probably do worse than approach the following:
