bsa licoln jeffries spares wanted

[webleybsa]

Hi Folks

Im trying to find some spares for a licoln jeffries style under lever air rifle.

I need the linkage from the piston to the underlever and finding it hard to find anyone who sells these new.

So maybe someone out there has one knocking around.

Any information would be great.

Im not sure if these linkages are all the same, i know the one of a webley mk3 will fit but it doesnt look right. I can give information of lengths etc. if anyone has one.

many thanks

Chris these linkages were different for different models so it would be worth making the length and pattern known. Also, are you talking about a pre-WW1 model (ie. Lincoln Jeffries or BSA) or one of the inter-War BSAs (ie. Standard, Light etc with push-buttons on the end of the cocking lever) or a foreign copy? If you're not sure, posting links to some pics of the rifle and the serial no/identifying marks would help.

The lug that engages with the piston during cocking sometimes wears over time so spare linkages can be hard to find. I've seen a few of them salvaged by being built up with weld and even on one occasion with the lug replaced by a pin, to get around the problem of finding a replacement.

Had a quick look at home...your gun sounds like a Imp Mod D from the dims you give.....if the patent on the underlever is numbered 8761/04, then this all ties up.........the link I have is 6 and 3/16" from the centre of the pivot hole to the front edge of the piston engagement lug.........PM me if you want to test fit it, as I am Worcester sat a.m.
