    Its amazing what people do to these vintage guns, especially with vice marks everywhere and bodge replacement parts especially screws.
    Wasn’t there a chap who built a sort of modern Britannia from scratch and posted it on here? A Dutch fella I think

    It was very skilled work and a beautiful project
    Morally flawed

    yup, an amazing job. But not goign to help the OP's need for authentic, swap in parts
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    There was a lot hand finishing with these. I found this out when I had my two apart. As I remember even the Pistons were slightly different.
