Specifications box needs to be reworked

The "Lee-Speed" encompassed a wide variety of commercial sporting rifles and carbines, of different chamberings, magazine capacities, barrel lengths and overall weights. There was no single "specification" for what were often hand-fitted "bespoke" rifles made to the customer's preferences.

Examples of the options available can be viewed in the BSA catalogues at the http://www.rifleman.org.uk/BSA_Miniature_Rifles-General.htm site, by clicking on the images of BSA catalogue covers to download .pdf copies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.167.208.105 (talk) 08:03, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
