Hello, I have a BSA 15 with a customized lever..it has been lengthened with a knod on end. The lever has been bent over to right..I am thinking former owner had this done to allow easier working of lever? Perhaps he had fat fingers or large hand? Has anyone ever seen a modification such as this on these type rifles? Thank you.

Almost certainly. Perhaps for rapid fire competition.
Cool user name.

Hello, sandy22. I am new to all of this...how many rounds in what time period is rapid fire in small bore? Thanks!

In the Queen Alexandra competition, 10 shots in 90 seconds, and the skirmisher. The skirmisher involves a target with eight oval aiming marks (roughly thumbprint sized); you get sixty seconds to shoot round the target, one aiming mark after another. Shots are scored as hit or miss.

Hello, and thanks for reply Tim S. Jolly good stuff! I have never heard of these matches before. Queen Alexandria..Now there was a long suffering lady! It makes perfect sense too as this was the time when small bore target shooting began to take off. Thank you so much!

The Queen Alex is a British domestic competition. It's shot during the NSRA national meeting at Bisley each August. I think it's open to County teams, rtaher than individuals.
