Hi downwindtracker2, hope you day is going GREAT!
For many years I did not know how to describe this rifle because the British Markings threw everyone including me off.
Do you hunt with yours? Are they deadly and accurate like mine?
From this day forward this is how I will describe the rifle: It is a Springfield P17 that was Sporterized by BSA between 1949 and 1953 and restocked by the Stockmaker Klaus Hiptmayer and engraved by Heidi Hiptmayer.
FYI, This is what the markings and Crowns represent:
Crown over BV means the incomplete rifle was seen by the proof house and looked fine.
Crown over BP means the proof house is inspecting a rifle barreled action ready for proof.
Crown over BNP means it was shot with a nitro proof load and passed.
