    Japanese pioneer BB Kentucky long rifle

    For sale my pioneer BB Kentucky long rifle, cocks and shoots fine , the hammer safety catch is all there but doesn't work , there are no cracks or splits in the stock but could do with a re-finish, also the patch cover on the stock is missing, I believe these were plastic so a replacement could be fashioned , these quirky rifles were only made for a year or two in the late 1970's early 80's and are becoming quite rare does anyone want it for £70
    Pictures on request

    You're just greedy ... Ha ha. Yep, as a doer-upper project, once done, this will make the perfect part, of the second part, of a perfect pair of Pioneers along side the lovely example you bought from yours truly (and it warms the cockles of me wotsits to see two good friends who I have dealt with, well, in the past, potentially dealing together, too ).

    Hi Jon. Yep, always good to have a prime example to reference when restoring anything, so I am now doubly glad my example has gone to you -- and remember what I said about regular light oiling through the trigger slot to keep the hammer action and safety feature moving and functioning freely (prompted by a BBS member who correctly questioned the sporadic workings of said Kentucky's safety, I learned this relatively recently from member philipk5 on here who you also know, as he knows these rifles inside out and upside down, ). Photos once done, please. Atb: G.
