    old gun

    That it fires still means its a runner not a bitsa . Foresight bit can be bought new / used from Protek or Airgunspares/Gunspares and not a lot from memory . Not sure what you mean by bits missing off the underlever ?

    Old gun

    Well Cocking Lever / Underlever , unless you mean the Tap Lever ? the small lever that flips up and down to load a pellet ? Bigger parts such as these command bigger money as the prices on the websites mentioned above will show . If tap lever is missing that is fixable but the orginal is more
    desirable .Screws are a nuisance and for what they are are very big money if bought over the counter .
    From what you are saying its a running project for sure . These sorts of guns turn up and don' t sell for a lot but somebody may want parts from yours to finish a better one they have , and so the prices offered can be generous pro rata for a rusty old thing . We would rather have pics posted before trying to give a valuation but this sort of gun in this description I have been offered by dealers at £70-£85 they having them at auction for far far less . Think I need to spend less time buying from dealers Without seeing pics of exactly what is there or not there on this gun I'd say no more than the above and most likely a bit less .
    I'd keep it if I was you , spend a little on it as needed over time ( hurts less ) then sell it when its up together for more . But you may have been bittern by the vintage airgun bug by then .

    Hello,

    As you rightly suggest, Ser No 77994 would probably have been one of the last BSA Improved Mod Ds to leave the factory in 1914.

    I would recommend that you lightly restore / clean it up and bring it up to a fully functional standard without spending too much in the process. You would never recoup the cost of a full restoration which is something that I wouldn't personally consider.

    Hope you get it back in use soon.

    Regards
    Brian

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, over the counter spares are not all that readily available for these early rifles.

    I would try posting a request on here first and then contact Protek Supplies (http://www.proteksupplies.co.uk/) down in darkest Bognor. It would also be useful to keep an eye out on that well known internet auction site.

    Just to be clear when looking for spares, your rifle is 1914 BSA Improved Mod D.

    Regards

    Brian

    For where to go , as mentioned above :
    Protek
    Airgunspares
    Gunspares

    Just Google and you find yur way .
    If the Tap is the broken piece you were referring to then the middle source has them but brace yourself .
