Hi all

I'm trying to figure out which model BSA Martini target rifle I have.

The listing long ago said international mk3 but it never matched any of the photos. I haven't found one that has this wood support on the forestock as all the ones I've seen are metal.

The lever on all the rifles I see are also much longer and extend past the pistol grip. This one stops right qt the end of the grip.

The top of the barrel has a Parker hale rail. And under it I can see "made by birminh...." and it's covered up. Screws are seized in place and I don't have the right bits to avoid marring it.

My apologies for the not greatest photos.

I think it’s a Model 12/15, but I’m not quite up to snuff on all these .22 target models.

BSA International MK3.

Different beast.

There were so many different models, it may take some research to nail down the exact model. It's very close to my 12/15, but with some minor differences. I've never seen a lever that short, so someone likely customized it. The same for the block on the fore stock, it's definitely not factory.

This web site contains a wealth of information on the BSA target rifles.

Here's a couple of photos for my 12/15. Fortunately, I was able to find the High Capacity Magazine for it. 🤣

Similar to a 12/15 but I am leaning to a heavily modified 12.

More pics would help, including the lever, serial number & barrel length.
