Hi John, thanks that was what I ended up doing and it turned out better than I had hoped for It’s a little bit ‘freckly’ in a few spots but I can live with that.
Around midnight last night I was at the kitchen table re-painting all the gold lettering much to her indoors annoyance
The rear site was badly broken but I’m going to put a scope on it anyway but the best thing about it is it has had literally no use,it was bought on a whim by my mate and just sat there,there is zero wear to it so internally all it’s had is a bit of a polish and lube and I’ve replaced the piston seal with a parachute style one. The original looked brand new but was very tight in the chamber, do they swell like the Mercury/Airsporter seals? Atb,Phil
