Provenance: BSA's original intention was to produce 500 of these 'Piled Arms Centenary' air-rifles in each calibre, .177 & .22, making 1000 guns in total. In practice, demand for the .22 version far outstripped the demand for the .177, causing BSA to rebarrel some of the .177 issues to the more popular .22, meaning that only around 300 rifles were sold in .177
