BSA

BSA has grown from a small union of gunsmiths to become one of Britain's important industrial groups just over the hundred years they have been running. The story of BSA's success is one entirely built on easy going steady progress and expansion, a lot of drama and excitement has also been thrown in along the way to make the brand what it is today. BSA has also served its country more directly than most, making its story also part of Britain's history. During the First World War existing BSA factories were turned over almost entirely to munitions work, manufacturing huge quantities of service rifles, machine guns, military motorcycles, and even the world's first folding bicycles to be supplied to the troops. And during WW2 BSA made, 568,100 .303 Browning machine guns, 1,250,000 .303 Lee Enfield rifles and 60,000 7.92 'BESA' machine guns.

BSA has been making gun barrels of the highest quality for many years and is the only volume manufacturer of Air Rifles which uses Cold Hammer Forged barrels that are usually reserved for use in high grade and military Fire Arms. Special steel is used for BSA barrels which work hardens when it is cold 'swaged' to enhance the wearing qualities of the rifling. The barrels are produced from solid bars that are deep hole drilled on specialist deep hole drilling machines, this method ensures that the bore is straight and has a superior surface finish ready for swaging.
