BSA War Office Pattern Miniature .22 Rifle

Years ago I got this at an auction. I was able to identify it as a "BSA War Office Miniature Rifle".

May have been used before the Enfield training rifles.

Wow, cool looking rifle. Have you fired it yet? I think that someone posted a photo of some of the Royal family during war time firing that rifle during shipboard target practice. They were trying to identify the make and model of the gun. Nice find. :thup: :thup: :thup: :thup: :thup:

I bet that could tell a tale or two - if it could talk, of course! :hmm:

Thanks, guys.

Flinty, haven't fired it yet. Did find some info on the UK Rifleman website, however
