I just looked on ebay and there's bsa cadet stocks on there. Nice gesture doing it up for a youngster my mate had one as a kid lovely old classic. My 85 had a tiny split in it I opened it up a touch and filled it with wood glue and clamped it and now it's solid as a rock.

Whereabouts are you? I got some old air rifles off my dad and I think there's a tornado that you could have for spares or even restore (it's not as bad as the one your doing.) I'm in Derby and if you or somebody for you can collect it your welcome to it, Stu.

No problem mate, I'm sure there are a couple more that you can have. I've been wondering what to do with them and if somebody like you is prepared to restore them and more importantly share the process with everyone I'm more than happy to let you have them. I'll see what there is and get back to you.

and as she is now

[bigmac 97kt 13,796]

The bsa cadet 177

 

Im p*ssed off why do some people even bother

 

the state of the spring and the piston seal is a disgrace

 

some one has try,d at some point to remove the seal with what looks like a chisel

 

they have even bent the top of the piston when they have try,d to remove the seal

 

and they have butchered the spring

 

they have hit the top of the piston that hard they have flat-end the seal holder over the seal that much you can not remove the seal i had to cut it off and ther was only half a plastic washer in it

 

so i now need a piston and seal

 

rubbed out all the rust but there is some bad pitting on the chamber and barrel

 

and to top it off the blueing will not take to them so this one may get the paint treatment
