BSA Meteor breech seal will fit iirc, and a couple of well applied spray coats of black smoothrite to the metal work, and a rub and sand and stain to the wood will result in a nice looking rifle for little outlay .

If you go this face-lift route however, photos posted here once done would be good too please, as many in this sec (inc. me), are as interested in budget tart-ups as full blown restos . Atb: G.
Thanks Gareth
