BSA MARTINI .22 lr RIFLES

For  number of years, there was an individual named Appleton who both imported these rifles from Britain and also purchased
spares/used parts from gunshops in the same country.

It is my understanding the Appleton business is sold and the inventory is now with another business.  Does anyone have contact information on the company that has replaced Appleton?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Deadeye Bly has the contact information and posted earlier about it.  A search should find it or send John Bly a note. Bruce

In it’s day Appletons shop was a sight to see. Not only complete BSA’s bins of parts and unopened crates of rifles. Never understood the volume until I worked in Australia & joined the local Smallbore rifle club. Safe full of BSA Martinis club owned. Most destroyed in the government buyback when Aussie rules changed. No doubt same thing happened in the UK.

Appleton saved many BSAs buying from British schools & clubs.

Contact Mike Sheetz at mikey20@shentel.net or call 540-550-1511. I was there last week and he still has quite a few MKI and MKII international rifles. He has many parts. He has stocks for the model 12's. Most stocks for the internationals were cut off and are short. They were club guns and most were modified for youth to shoot.
