Air cyl re-blue service?

[eyebull]

Isn't that a BSA Scorpion air cylinder?

Dunno. I thought the scorpion cyl was about 250mm, this is 340 all in.

I talked to John Bowkett today on another errand and while I had his attention I asked about this cylinder.

Going from my description and sizes he suspects it was off a Scorpion Export model.

I’m thinking it might be tough to get so I’m going to get some of that heat shrink wire wrap tubing in matt black and fit that. It’ll either work and look good or not.

Pics to follow sometime...

Thanks for the kind words Martyn.

I ordered the heat shrink tubing today, should be here tomorrow. Less than a fiver for 38mm id tube (before heat).

Here’s hoping it’s a good solution.

I'd be tempted to call that a de lisle carbine.
Nice gun.

do you know the cost of blueing a barrel ?

I just googled the De Lisle. Never seen one before, but I can see the basic similarities. Other than not being .45 ACP!
