Apr 08, 2019 However. I recently purchased from a local auction site a BSA Cadet Major. Serial number CA53163. Cost me about 60 quid and what a bargain I got. This rifle is a joy to use and look at. Packs a punch out of proportion to its size and appears to be very accurate. For BSA and Greener rifles view complete catalogues from 1908 to the mid 1930s on our. CATALOGUES PAGE. As far as civilian rifles are concerned, some manufacturers have their own dating systems, with, for example, prefixes or suffixes to serial numbers providing that information.
There follows an abridged list of serial numbers of pre-WW1 BSA and Lincoln Jeffries rifles, based on the comprehensive list in John Knibb's book BSA and Lincoln Jeffries Air Rifles: A Concise Illustrated History of Their Development and Manufacture, 1904-18. Mr Knibbs drew up his list from entries in the original factory ledgers.
This list will be of assistance in narrowing down the age of your rifle. For a much more detailed record of your rifle's manufacture and despatch from the factory, please refer to the above book or, for the actual day the gun left the factory, contact John Knibbs International, but it will cost you UK£25 for the information.
Vintage BSAs 1919-1939
John Knibbs, who owns the BSA factory ledgers, didn't include a list of serial numbers for the post-1919 BSA air rifles in his book The Golden Century (copyright John Knibbs 2002).
The reason was that the serial numbers were not issued in chronological order, so the following information SHOULD BE TREATED WITH CAUTION!!!
Two sources of date identification have been published, apparently before the uncertainty mentioned above was understood, by Dennis Hiller in his book Air Rifles and by P J Colman in his articles in Guns Review. The Hiller ones take the format 'Model, Maker, Date'):
Light patterns 'L' and 'A'
Club ('CS' and 'C') and Standard .22 cal ('S' and 'T' patterns)
Breakdown pattern
BSA airgun prefix codes

The Forum Rules have undergone some minor changes and updates. Please take the time to read them; it will only take a couple of minutes of your time. By doing so, you lessen the chance of incurring the wrath of the moderation team or making yourself look foolish to other members.
90% of users posting adverts in the Sales forums need to be reminded to read the rules as their posts are wrong. This is unnecessarily time-consuming and will no longer happen - if your advert doesn't follow the Sales Rules it will be deleted and you'll have to start all over again.

Thank you.

A reminder of one of the Forum Rules:
'Behaviour
Do not make inappropriate or offensive posts - including threats, harassment, swearing, prejudice, defamation, deliberate insults or name-calling, other negative remarks about this forum, its moderators and administrators or your fellow members. Even if this is just your own personal opinion, RESPECT YOUR FELLOW MEMBERS.'There have been changes made to our censoring software in an attempt to help with this growing problem.Click the X in the top-right-hand corner to dismiss this notice. - Dismiss Notice
Dear members,
Our membership (like our country) consists of people from all walks of life; different in far more ways than can be listed here and each with a different view based on their experience of life - regardless of their colour, religion or cultural heritage. Every single person in the UK has been born of mixed race – we are a multi-coloured and multi-cultural country.
As many of you are aware there are a handful of individuals amongst this membership that persist in making provocative, inflammatory, racist and otherwise offensive comments. This has been happening across the forum to a certain degree but is most especially prevalent in the Adult section.
The moderation team has tried to stay on top of this, however unfortunately because of the ‘offensive’ nature of much of its content we don’t monitor the Adult section quite as much as perhaps we should. As a result much of this behaviour has gone unnoticed unless it has been reported to us. While the team always intended to take a 'light touch' approach to the Adult section it would seem that some people aren’t quite adult enough to be left unmonitored after all.
This behaviour is, and always has been against Forum Rules as well as the specific stipulations of the Adults forum and it will no longer be tolerated. We feel it's time to draw a line in the sand and as such from this point onward offenders will receive an immediate and permanent ban from the forum.
In order for us to achieve our goal of restoring the forum to the friendly and tolerant place it once was, we ask that ALL members be mindful of the content they post and help us to stop unacceptable behaviour by using the 'Report' tool at the bottom of any offending post - the results of which can be seen only by Admin/Moderators.You should all receive a copy of this message by PM.

Postings on Politics, Religion & Controversial Off-Topic Material
The majority of users do not want to read about these subjects and people have left the forum as a result of it – this is after all an 'Airgun' Forum. It’s all very well to say they don’t have to read it if they don't want to, but as most of us use the ‘New Posts’ button there is no easy way to avoid it.
All AGF staff members are in favour of people being able to discuss what they want, but we have to draw the line somewhere if it is upsetting other users. We don’t want to read about these topics either.
IMPORTANT- The discussion of politics and religion is no longer allowed anywhere on the forum (including the Adult section). The only exception is if it's airgun related - they must be put in the Airgun Related Politics section..
We willnot tolerate bullying or personal attacks, racism or any other offensive 'isms'. we will remove these topics from the forum, we will not give you an area where you can abuse each other. We will not hesitate to ban offenders.To clear this text box, click on the 'X' in the top right-hand corner.
