In fact thoroughly enjoyed it. Learning curve all the way through.
Sourcing parts is half the fun and as you've discovered with your ROA base pin, newer doesn't make it any easier.
The IMA site states British manufactured and the Kings Shilling has one advertised on its web site, so next time at Bisley I'll call in and have a look.
Perhaps I should have been clearer in my original post, I'm more interested in how the originals compare with a modern repo shooting wise, what I might have to look out for with a 2nd hand repo and on the competition side would using a repo limit whats available.
