Hunter Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Whe I was a bit of a noob, I had a BSA Buccaneer. I shot my first rabbit with it, and I tought myself to gut it/skin it. We ate this rabbit!. But the BSA was later modified by me, into an airpistol (which is what its ment to be, however it has the added stock, and longer barrel). So it was sawn down, painted etc.. not good! If I knew it was worth so much, I would have kept it, and sold it now.. Still, its a memory that il live with, even though it was a pretty rough gun. This gun got me into bigger better airguns untill this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Young airgunner, Get on with it and show us the results, I made a complete pigs ear out of a BSA Meteor stock about 20 years ago, I stripped off all the varnish hoping to do a nice oiled finish, only to find that the stock was beech and white in colour. I did stain it and tried oiling it but it always and still does look awful. I don't know why I still own it as you can watch the pellet go through the air and it isn't even accurate.

Mungler Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 LOL. I killed a BSA Meteor too. Tell you what though, I miss that gun and I miss my first car (a Mk1 Cortina - registration DUO 428C if anyone knows where it is). If I could find my first gun and my first car I would buy them back tomorrow in a heart beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leon Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Young airgunner Have you finished it yet? want to see the finished job, stick with your smk rifle and when you go out and get something with it get the pictures up cause you've used proper fieldcraft to get the shot and made it count. People who reckon rifles are no good are only covering for the fact they can't hit nowt with one cause they aint good enough. Natures son Shut up if thats all you can shoot with a pre-charged your ****!!!! maybe if you started with a smk rifle your fieldcraft would be better and you could shoot more!!!

young airgunner Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 cheers for that leon. i have stained it with wax and am now going to varnish it. cheers james Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Noooo.. Varnish over wax? that wont stick. Either wash ALL the wax off with white spirit and stain/varnish. or stain then wax. This comes from experiance! Varnish will only stick to completley clean matiriel. Any oil or dirt, and it comes back off in a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
