gaz2923 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Hi I am very new to this but my licence is en route and I have been offered a gun by a mate of mine at "mates rates". The gun is an old ou AYA Yeoman but it hasn't had much use and hasn't been used for around 5 years. I presume this isn't a problem but that it will need to be serviced, lubed etc? What is the cost of this sort of overhaul? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 If it works then may not need a service (Yeoman are like old boots!) however a strip and clean of the action is about £50 round my way it may be all gunged up inside if its been left barrels up and full of oil (little oil and barrels down is the way to store a gun and grease not oil on metal to metal contacts) Make sur eit fits you and have some lessons at a clay ground while you wait for SGC to arrive while it may look a good deal at mates rates you may be buying into a whole host of issues that wont help your shooting.

nickcass23 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Gun servicing is a rip off, read about it and do the basic strip down and lube urself! Not much can go wrong and you still have a nice wedge in your pocket to spend on somthin else!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz2923 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Well the guy I'm about to have my lessons off said dont buy it but stubborn as I am I bought his ou and his old sbs for 250 quid the pair To be honest, if they don't fit me then I will sell them on as the yeoman has only had 30 carts through it and has then sat in the cupboard for 5 years or so It will also give me a chance to have a go at stripping them myself without worrying about doing any damage to an expensive gun - anyone got a decent link for info on stripping and cleaning?
