hedge wanderer 51 Posted April 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Got one of my 3-9x40 scope on the now spray painted one piece mount kindly donated by big Mac. Cheers mate ?? Still makes a crack when it goes off but is now shooting far smoother and less twangy sounding than it was before the piston was polished and the piston head and top hat fitted. Grouping very well now 2 Quote Link to post

The blueing is actually really good for the age with no rust anywhere. May do the stock up and if I can I'll fix the screw heads as they're a bit mangled and I want to keep it as stock as possible. Is shooting really accurate now mind? 1 Quote Link to post

Grouping very well now I do like those older BSAs ....... For me, I think that's a damn near perfect shape for a break barrel. I love the way the metalwork sweeps down into the handle and, that the front of the stock covers the cocking link (Weihrauch should take note ) Get some pictures up of it's groupings mate Quote Link to post

hedge wanderer 51 Posted May 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Well after a while of trying to get decent enough groups with this thing I’ve come to the conclusin, this thing doesn’t like scopes and kicks back off every set of mounts I’ve put on it including a one piece. Guess I’m on the search for a new rear sight haha Quote Link to post
