Since its formation in 1861, BSA grew into a powerful member of Britain's industrial group. Initially formed from a small union of gunsmiths, the company went on to land large government contracts producing guns such as the Lewis machine gun and various small arms used in WW2. During the period 1940 to 1945 the BSA factory produced over 500,000 .303 Browning machine guns, 1.25 million .303 Lee Enfield Rifles and 60,000 7.92 'BESA' machine guns playing not just a large part in the UK gun trade but a huge part in Britain's history.

At its height the BSA group, including BSA Cycles Ltd and BSA Guns Ltd, controlled 67 factories with a work force of 28,000 with 25,000 machine tools. From this point the company eventually stopped production of military weapons and changed its focus to the production of Rifles, Air Rifles and sporting guns
