Thanks guys, apparently I'm now too old to live fast and die young. So here's to growing old disgracefully

Sounds like a most excellent plan, Young Chris.

I mean....both plans!

BOING!

[TonyL]

Not unusual for springers to rattle a bit in the cocking linkage, I've had various AA & HW do it.

Nothing to worry about; advisable to keep all bearing points, pins, rivets, bolts, cocking shoes, cocking levers, piston slots, etc. well greased or oiled as necessary to minimise wear, which may be a contributary factor, along with production tolerances, etc.

Thanks for that Ted I know the chap who owned it before me had it kept very well and wondered if a couple of shim washers may have been overlooked on reassembly, you know.... those bits leftover that you wonder where they came from

No need to worry at all, Pauly; it's completely normal and it isn't a case of shims omitted during original build.

As Ted says, keep everything lubed as it should be. If the rattle did become something that you simply couldn't put up with, it could be shimmed. At the same time, always a nice idea to fit one of those threaded cocking lever screws, making subsequent work even easier. Available from V-Mach and one or two other sources.

What a beautiful day!

We're having new windows and a set of French doors fitted today.

I think I'll go out.

How did the window shooting, er, sorry, er, fitting go, Nick?

I'm fine with it as it is Tone now that I know it's 'ok', it's just that none of my other HW's rattle and had to ask.

They finished about 1/2 an hour ago. Cracking job and they look fantastic! Littluns now got access to the garden in her wheelchair which is simply the best part of it and worth the money on its own.

Great news re the little one's improved access and freedom, Nick.

Now, no more shooting TOWARDS the house, okay?
