Product Overview
This Secondhand BSA SMLE 303-25 is in an overall great used condition. May have some minor cosmetic usage imperfections.
In the 1940s the 303/25 filled a void for Australian hunters and farmers, because at the time there was not a wide variety of choice in firearms or calibers and civilians were prohibited from owning any military calibers. Once developed, the popularity of the cartridge increased rapidly for several reasons. The necked down wildcat version of the .303 was found to be quite accurate and suitable for small to medium/large game, and also because of the huge surplus of cheap ex-military firearms available for conversion.
Today the 303/25 still has a small following in Australia, but mostly it is considered an important piece of Australian firearm and hunting history.
