Very handy.
Some brass punches are useful too. 312119211533 On the bay.

Thanks for those links Aris, the brass punch set will be bought as will the bench block-the Ant supplies site is completely new to me.... I wasnt looking for storage tins but they are damned handy as well.
Thanks again for putting up the links
As a vintage collector the “tool” I use the most when I acquire a new airgun is the stainless steel pad below made for removing rust. When used with thin oil it is amazing at removing rust imperfections often to the point they are not noticeable. It doesn’t affect existing bluing. With some guns where the rust has not progressed too far, it can work miracles. After unboxing its the first thing I pick up cause rarely does blued metal come perfect.

Thanks for the help again. Steel pads certainly just made my shopping list, looking forward to acquiring the screwdrivers etc
Not wishing to divert from the principal topic of tools on this thread, to protect the outside surfaces, I have to commend Ballistol, both their original and specific Gunex versions.
They work well on rust and provide a protective coating on the wood and metal. It is more than a coating, you are anointing.

Millimetres matter
A hammer
Dave.
Thats actually a good point DM. Is it a nylon hammer that imparts shock to help move metal? I ask this because I have two BSA Mercury rifles and one definately needs attention as it wont push out a pellet yet has had a new breech seal..
Get yourself a nice soft hammer ( the type with nylon heads). These are really useful and safeguard your metalwork.
Kindest regards

IF I WALKED ON WATER PEOPLE WOULD SAY I COULD NOT SWIM !
Thanks for the tips Guys. Even though the list is growing its not an expensive one.... some knowledgable enterprising soul could make a sticky out of this as there is plenty foe someone entering tinkering for the first time to think about?
