Im ok with it if bunnyb blatter is as he was the first to say he would have it .

then used by the youngones in there club.

Tell em it's a woodcarving (True. The stock is!) Or the front fork assembly for a bike.

 

Worked for me!

Very kind of you ! Well restore it to its former glory and it will serve new members well.

 

I'll post pics of the restoration.

 

On behalf of the whole club, thanks again for your generosity, and thanks to others for your blessing.

[samuria 331]

blackbriar, thanks for the kind words.

hope to see how it turns out when your man works his magic

on it

UPDATE......UPDATE.....UPDATE......

 

As promised, here's the pictures of the BSA Meteor restoration. We repaired and refinished the stock, reblued the metalwork and replaced all the bolts with nice, shiny, new brass ones. We even managed to restore the gold lettering on the barrel logo !

You can see where the stock was broken, but the repair is solid.

 

There seems to be an intermittent problem with the trigger sear, but the one we put in was already old and worn, so the rifle doesn't always fire when it's cocked - if anyone has a sear for a Mk3 or 4 hanging around, I'd be interested in acquiring it.

 

But, on the whole, it's done and ready to be scoped up !
