BSA Snipe 12 Ga Shotgun 30" Single Barrel
Manufactured in the United Kingdom, the Snipe represents the enduring British tradition of rugged, utilitarian single-barrel shotguns built for straightforward dependability. Designed with a robust break-action architecture, it was conceived as a reliable workhorse capable of delivering years of honest service in the field.
Dating to 1980, this 12-gauge example is fitted with a 30-inch barrel chambered for 2 ¾-inch cartridges and stocked in classic wood with a pistol grip, making it a viable candidate for competition turkey shoots. The shotgun is offered strictly as an as-is project gun or for parts with no returns, as the barrel exhibits a muzzle bulge requiring a 2 ½-inch cut that will leave the bore at cylinder constriction.
Mechanically, the action locks up firmly on face and operates via a single trigger, manual safety, and positive extractor. No case or additional accessories are included with the firearm, and delivery will require standard FFL transfer procedures.
