Edit: Andrew as for your pleas for a gunsmith who you could pay to do the work, there are various skilled 'smiths around the country, although none is likely to come forward publicly on this forum for fear of being seen to tout for business, which is forbidden (though I suppose they might PM you).

Jon's offer of help is generous but he's right when he suggests doing it yourself. The old BSAs are extremely simple to work on and you will enjoy it, as well as knowing exactly what's happened inside your rifle. Maybe the best thing would be to advertise for an enthusiast who lives near you. Where is Pulborough - I've never heard of it, sorry?
It's about 16 miles from Protek, I have sent P.M. to the O.P.

I wish I was closer as it would be great to just rock up with a few springs and a couple of screwdrivers and have a play for an hour
