The decision to purchase was on my initial assessment of the rifle, the problem became apparent after I stripped degreased and relubed it. It’s an old school 25 all steel, no safety job and it had the original HW grease in it.. The possibly intractable nature of the problem meant it wasn’t as initially described so buyer withdrew.

Means I get to have a play with it now, it’s been sitting in the back of the gun cupboard for years.
