Need Info On BSA Rifle

Jigga
I have a BSA (Birmingham Small Arms Co Ltd.) .22lr semi auto rifle that loads from the buttstcok. This gun also breaks down in half. The left side of reciever says BSA "Ralock" Self Loading Rifle .22lr cartridge and Made in England. On the bottom of the reciever it says Patent NOS 586495 592822 The right side of the reciever says The Birmingham Small Arms Co. Ltd. Birmingham. England The barrel has these proofs: crown BV, crown BP, crown NP and then says .22lr It has the safety switch on top of the reciever. Does anyone know a little about this gun, what it is worth, when was it made, ect.? Thanks

    Where you finding all this good stuff, Jigga?
    What you do, knock-off a museum? [;)]



    The "Ralock Sporting Rifle" is a little known .22 auto that BSA made in very limited quanties after the war. Circa late 40's early 50's.Other then it was made in (2) versions for the .22lr & .22short and it was cocked by pushing forward on the trigger guard


    Something like this would be very hard to value as you have nothing to base the appraisal on as they come on the market so rarely?

    Rufe- I appreciate the help and expertise you have been giving me. I bought out a large collection of mostly .22's and there were some I have been holding onto because I didn't know what they were or worth. I have more I will probably be posting inquiries on soon. This BSA looked a little odd to me and I now know why. I better put that one away for awhile. Stay tuned for more inquiries. Thanks a million!
