I have plenty of close up pics of the safety installed on rifles ,and also a jpg of the patent drawing of BSA , which is a bit grainy but gives the general idea.Thanks for the offer to look around ,appreciate it very much .
Im reasonably confident that BSA would have utilised a tang safety from one of thier shotguns of the period for the sporting rifles , with minor changes ,mainly to the sear bar/rod , rather than develope a whole new set up just for the rifles . Im guessing of course , but they would have tried to save time and money when ever they could .

Just the tang sliced off right behind the action would be enough to at least have some thing to start with , I don't particularly need the rest of it.

Getting gun parts from overseas into Au , is a challange due to our restrictive laws and also due to laws in other countries regarding exportation of said parts .A few months ago I attempted to get some barrel liners from the US ,would have got them through this end as steel tubing , but got messy on the US side due to them being gun parts .

Just took delivery of a cleaning rod and a rear ladder sight for my 1873 Winchester from the US , on the customs declaration the sender thoughtfully had them listed as machine parts and the passed through with no trouble.
