We have a used Birmingham Small Arms (BSA) Model Martini 12/15 Target Match rifle for sale. This rifle comes chambered in .22LR or .220 Long Rifle with a 29' barrel. This comes as shown in pictures with what is belived to be the matching Parker Hale rear sight, with front aperture sight. It's equipped with target sights; tang mounted peep rear sight (Parker-Hale 7 or 7A) and tube front sight with replaceable sight insert. Barrels run about 29' long with 1' at the breech and 3/4' at the muzzle. Occasionally a bull barrel is found, but are hard to find. This model was manufactured after the model 15 (see below). Introduced in 1947, it is the final model of the small action martini rifles. The last example was shipped in 1955. Serial numbers have a 'P' prefix, and are found in the P60,000 to P76,000 serial range. It appears only about 16,000 were manufactured. This is in Good Used Condition, but the stock does show handling wear and nicks. Overall we would grade at approx 90%. Check out the pictures and feel free to call or email with any questions.
