Michaeli Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) Hi all, I’m currently messing with a BSA .22 Lr sportsman I’v made some scope mounts and it shoots really well so i now want to put a mod on it. so I’m looking either for a gun smith or an engineer / machine shop that can help, pref near to nottingham, but I do travel with work. the down side is all the trigger and tube mag are all fixed to the barrel so the barrel can’t just be removed and put in a lathe. any ideas or help would be great. thanks michael Edited February 5, 2018 by Michaeli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fil Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 I did one about 15 years ago... can't remember how but obviously was done in the lathe. I'm down in Wilts/Berks border though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one time you could get an adaptor that slid over the barrel then screw a mod on to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By people who call themselves gunsmiths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is a serious matter but you would not think anyone could be that thick with only one head to fire that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
