    I'll have a look in the man cave tomoz and let you know what I find.

    Pete, you really are a star.

    And, yes, I'd always be willing to help out if you, or any other nice BBS peeps, needed something that I could help them out with.

    But seals are just taking it too far, mate. As I say, I fully expected to have to replace both seals and with the piston seal looking good I'm already on a winner there. And you will, no doubt, need them at some point in the future, so, no, I could not accept any further generosity in that department.

    Again, thank you.

    Thank you, Pete.

    You're a star.

    Will look at pm now.



    Mick - if you're looking in and haven't sent anything out already, don't worry over the detent spring. If you have already sent it I can either return it via post or bring it to The Bash.

    Love you chaps xxx

    Cocking linkage arrived from Uncle Mick today.

    Breech seal and rear guard screw washer ordered.

    All other parts out of their GT85 bath and cleaned / inspected / polished.

    Once those springs arrive, Pete, maybe order up a top hat from The Tinster and we can build her up.

    Thanks again Mick and Pete. What a pair of stars and shining examples of the community spirit and selflessness of the many kind BBS members.

    Why did you order a breech seal when I've got a couple of spare ones here that I could have chucked one in with the springs

    Because, Pete, what you have done already has far surpassed expectations.

    Plus you have quite a few break barrel BSAs there and you'll need 'em at some point.

    Thank you once again,

    Tone.

    Pair of boingery things (little and large!) safely arrived today.

    No time to play, unfortunately, but all looking really good.

    Thank you, Pete.

    And thanks again to Mick for the cocking slide.
