    Yeah, theoben did change their breach blocks. very early ones were different - narrower as you said - maybe that was when they were using wobley barrels ?
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Even Gamo use a proper breech block and they own BSA.

    Pete, I thought fitting a German barrel to you BSA would be against all that you held sacred! Don't do it!!

    I'm not going to, I was just seeing if it was worth it.
    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    I've actually shot one at one of the bashes, luckily Tone didn't get a photo as I would have never heard the frigging end of it

    But I thought those TXs were accurate, Pete? Should have scored higher than a 35.
