This will be photo heavy but it shows the work to restore an old BSA for a client this week.

Not bad for 10 days work.
Restored two BSA's and a mk1 HW80, serviced two BSA R10's, an R12, two HW100's an RWS Excalibre, a Daystate Huntsman and a BSA Ultra. I'm now blacking some Shotgun furniture and should be home by 11.
It's been a very, very long run. I might have the weekend off
