Pure airgun porn but be careful what you say about the contributors - they all grace this forum! And, to a man, are generous with advice and information.

I've seen the decorated Light pattern and it reminded me of nothing as much as my grandmother's sewing machine.

You know when you think "it's not really what i would normally buy" but look back over the 12 months plus of ownership and think...YES! i'm glad i did!
Some time ago a customer came into my shop and as you do, in general conversation, he mentioned an old BSA air rifle that he had completely refurbed and was looking to sell. Not what i would normally consider but appeasingly we agreed that i would have a look. A couple of weeks later he bought it in, opened the old pvc bag and took the rifle out. IT LOOKED NEW! Every screw had no signs of anyone even showing them a screwdriver, it had been totally re-blued, with a (sorry to say this purists) GOLD PLATED TRIGGER, other than that, everything looked original and in place. I must admit i was a bit shocked! The stock had been replaced with a 'hand made' walnut straight stock, lovely grain, "i didn't think the old stock did it justice, so i had a new one made" he said, but then got the old stock out of a seperate bag. To be honest for a 100+ year old didn't look too bad. So after asking several questions with several BSA guru's (some of which said "don't touch it, it's not original patina, it's been spoilt etc") I BOUGHT IT!
Now i know some may agree with the purists, and everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but, with g/p trigger, spare stock, and shoots ok as well, how could i not!
I'm chuffed to say the least. If i can fathom out how to put some piccys on here i will. Good luck with your search sir, i'm sure the right one is just around the corner! Atb
