BSA pistol grip caps

[archie]

Anybody know where I could obtain a rubber cap which fits in the stock retaining bolt hole on a BSA Airsporter, or perhaps if a member has one sitting spare anywhere. Thanks.

Hi, I had a bag blanking grommets back in the 80's ago from work that were almost exactly correct, with just a slight radius difference, I no longer have any I am afraid, but there will be bags of the things out there for pennies each if you mooch around online ......this sort of thing;

The link is just to show you what I mean, I don't have any later BSA's so cannot measure the grip drilling size to enable the start of your search.

if you add "eblag.com" back into the link after clicking on it in your browser it will work - the bbs filters it out...

Thanks. I will get measuring.

I measured 16mm? on my mk4 and 26mm? on my mk2 (that has the threaded hole for the larger screw in type 'bung' - having said that, it's a mk1 stock) as I had them 'handy'.

You should measure yours though mate!

Thanks Jon - I didn't know that!

Yes, does appear to be 16mm. But the hole in my stock seems to be oval with the widest measurement at a shade over 17mm.

It's 'oval' due to the fact it's a round hole that finishes with an angled face at the bottom of the grip!
