Hi Rowdy,

Man, I am eager to see that MkI sporter and every mark on it. They were certainly not produced for very long---BSA was producing the MkII early in 1892, so there were probably only a handful of MkI sporters.

Another interesting thing about Tinker's action--which is clearly a MkI-- is that the trigger is from a MkII. It has the cup for the sear. Weird.

...

On many early Lee Speeds I have seen a stamp that consists of a V in circle. Anyone know what that means?
