maximus otter Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 l still own my first ever rifle, a 1969 BSA Super Meteor in .22, serial number TE 315** lt’s in rag order, and currently resides in pieces in my garage, the legendary “box of bits” that every gunsmith dreams of receiving to be worked on... 😂 My question: Does anyone know of a reputable, trained, experienced air rifle restoration expert who could breathe new life into the treasured companion of my formative years? l would be willing to spend a reasonable three-figure sum; what l don’t want is somebody’s brother-in-law with a hammer and a rusty set of carpenter’s screwdrivers, or “my mate Geoff down the pub”. Thoughts, gents? maximus otter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consensus on the tuner site is a chap called Nick Simmons is likely the best one to chat to about it, so I will pass on his contact info once he has forwarded it to me. Hope you get it sorted 👍 Thanks for your efforts on my behalf. maximus otter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
