BSA Rifle question

First of all, hello all. Just joind this site.

I purchased a BSA 7mm Rem Mag rifle a few weeks ago and I can not find any info on this rifle. I want to replace the short 16.5 inch barrel that this rifle came with. Does anyone have an idea how to reseach this?

Thank

Depending on the model try Numrich Gun Parts. Hope this helps.

You do not need a BSA barrel. The BSA action is a precise knock-off of the Mauser 98. Barrel choices are legion. Any gunsmith can help you with this. Plan on spending $150 for a good barrel, $50-$75 for labor.

A 16.5 inch 7mm mag? That must be interesting to shoot.................

Do not buy any barrels from Numrich that are reconditioned.They have all kinds of problems.I bought a 7mm rem mag that I had to set the barrel back .120" and rechamber to use it.I bought a .243 barrel that expanded case bodys to where you couldnt even resize them.Go to midwayusa or such.Watch for short chambers which is the only real way you can headspace a Mauser but a reamer cost around $100 and it is usually about $135 or such to get a gunsmith to do it.I suppose numrich new barrels might be ok. sam.
