BSA push barrel rifle Patent no. 1988 (1914) 

With thanks for the patent details to Peter from vintageairguns.co.uk.

The article that follows, describing a prototype push-in barrel BSA (though not built exactly to the patent specs) is by Harvey from Airgun World, Vol 2, issue 5, December 1978, with photos by John Priest.

 

These pics apparently of the same gun. With thanks to John.

BSA Patent piston head securing washer (1929) 

With thanks for the patent details to Peter from vintageairguns.co.uk.

This was the final BSA pre-WW2 patent application and dealt with the problem of the usual screw securing the leather piston cupped seal being damaged or coming loose.

These patents date from 1905 and 1904. The first one was apparently fitted to a prototype Lincoln Jeffries.

From 1904.....Seems a very long winded explanation, but I suppose this is how the agents made their living...
