Re: BSA Sporter ? ?

Picked her up today , I have had Lee Speeds in my hands , but this feels better , great handling , Butt stock looks made to the rifle , bolt does not match , but the Lee Speeds I have seen did not have matching bolts either , this rifle was requisioned for at least one War & the owner was lucky to get it back , but the bolt may have been lost , the bolt dust covers have the makers name on them most times , the army stamps are not on the bolt , just to show how bad they were , on the stock it is stamped - HC8 1512 & on the rifle it is stamped HG8 1512 , the G looks a little like a C on the action !

Has looping sight machining on the action , bugger !
Should I get a Lobbing sight & fit , to make it look less "Gap Toothed" ?

Here are pics of fore sight & front sling eye .









Barrels is 21in long .
