    Red face Strange bits and bobs I was given!!

    Hi

    Does anyone else have strange bits given?

    A mate that's in to Bonsai cleared his shed and asked me if these were any good to me, There's a trigger block from a HW80, A small Webley pistol scope, A Sharp Innova silencer/block although the silencer seems to have gone walkabout!
    The BSA Barrel that had the block unbrazed then brazed back on badly went to Guy for some project I think, Why the heck would anyone unbraze the block then rebraze it on again??! )

    There's a grip off a Crosman pistol, Possibly a 1300/77/22 but not 100% sure!!




    There was also a beat up copy of 'Power without powder', No idea where that is now either!!

    Anyone else had obscure bits given??

    I have boxes of them, thinking of taking them to Kempton Park, may do someone a good turn. The grips are from a Crosman 150 I think, and the pellet stop looks like the one that was supplied in the BSA Scorpion box. The front sight is very handy as it fits on a few rifles, they are quite expensive.

    The pistol grip looks very much like a Crosman 1300 medallist to me. Quite fragile, the one I have on mine is cracked split and broken.

    Someone has cut a square out of this one where the rear screw is covered by it, I presume it's to be able to remove the screw without the need to remove the grips!!

    I have just noticed Baz suggested that the grips are for a Crosman 150 so I hit the web to check it out. It looks like the 150 and 1300 have the same trigger frame and grips so could probably fit either?

    As for the detached BSA barrel. Weren't there reports some years ago about BSA Meteor barrels "unbrazing" themselves on occasion?
    The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.

    Yes, I do recall hearing of this. No idea if it was true or an urban myth?

    The barrel looks short, maybe someone heard about shortening barrels at the breech end and had a go?

    Interesting finding. I saw something similar at my friend's house in Greece, his father bought that gun a long time ago (he couldn't remember where), there were some parts missing though, I am not sure if it's of any value, but it is beautiful just for a collection.

    Danny, not much chance of selling, way overpriced. You can get better in South Africa for £80K, and get a licence to carry at the same time !
