)ĭid have a Vintage shoot last weekend, with RATBUSTER, we did some shooting with BSA Standard no. knibbs, cost 40 GBP, ( price in book 17 GBP, but it was cut away,did see it in an other copy. Sorry to say but I bought the last one by Mr. I guess I wasn't cut out to be an engineer!!!! Net result - virtually smooth bolt and fits of laughter from all my fellow pupils when the metalwork teacher examined my work, and declared it a first in twenty years of teaching - adding that it was unique and the worst bolt he had ever seen ) Then on seeing that the thread was not too clearly defined proceeded to cut a third thread when I went back down the bolt again ( I am the only bloke in my basic metalwork class at school, who when asked to make a nut and bolt. It is best that I steer clear on advising people about making screws and threads as I am not much good at it I can't help you with the sizes of the screws, however I am sure there will be more technical people along soon who could help you with the information that you seek. THey certainly ain't cheap - Thats for sure
Also, I know what you mean about the prices from John Knibbs. Sadly now most only have faint etching or it is gone altogether. Most rifles would have had this etching on when they left the factory. 177 Light pattern, as it is very rare to find this in a clear condition, as often it is totally worn away. 22 Standard (folded into its cut out in the stock immediately behind the trigger blockĬlose up of the same 21a sight in the open position showing the flat counter sunk screw in the front (with the dome headed screw in the rear for windage adjustment)įinally, I just thought I would include a picture of the Photo-etching on the cylinder of the two hole. The backsight was also copied from the rimfire.Ĭlose up of the BSA model 21a Aperture Sight on a 1934 'T' Pattern.
