Abas major rebuild

[T 20]

Hi Folks

I've been following Grant Stace's rebuild of an Abas Major on his New Zealand website and thought it might be of interest to others on here.

Grant is now a member of the BBS thanks to Jim (BTDT) so he may chip in on the collectors section in the future.

He's a clever chap...nice to see these old airguns rescued & given a new lease of life instead of broken up for parts....

He's a bit more than clever Chris

Grant's a bloody genius

Have a look at some of his "Homemade" guns on here.

I know what you mean Chris but at least Grant can spend more time in his workshop now he doesn't have to worry about watering them.

Anyway I've sent Grant the only picture I have of the loading tap from above (Airgunworld april 1984) but it still isn't very clear so if anyone could supply a better photograph it would help Grant no end.
