Must say I do get a degree of satisfaction from getting a rifle a little tlc to getting working nicely again.
Some members will remember the old 80 I brought on the way to the bash and made its debut by going off on its own.
Well said rifle was stripped down. New breech seal fitted, vmach seal and old spec venom spring sourced and cut down to 25 coils as we only had 28 coils left and these are FAC territory. New trigger blade fitted, trigger set to right tension as the venom blade was set to light. Safety catch lubed as not working. All put back to together using the right ingredients with a period whisper silencer fitted to the 14 inch barrel.
This 1982 80 is now lovely to shoot and at the moment I can't put it down as I'm well pleased with my results, yes it no super tune but I'm really pleased with my efforts on this old 80.
