I think I made a good buy yesterday at auction - A Sketeon No4 action, its grubby and looks like it has been overpainted but If I can find somehwere to get it sandblasted and re 'blued' it should be as new.

Any suggestions who to use ?

I've seen these go for 'silly money' but I think the price was reasonable.

It was interesting that the auctioneer (before the auction started) made an annoncement about this lot :

"I have spoken with the Proof House and the Pattern Room and various Police Forces and this item is NOT a firearm. Any skeleton action that has the SKN serial numbers was made by the manufacturer and has never been a 'firearm' it therefore does not need putting 'on ticket'. Any skeleton action that does not have the SKN number has been converted by MOD Armourers, the Gun Trade etc. and therefore has been a firearm. (Once a firearm, always a firearm !!!) and therefore they would be a section 1 firearm.
The only Police Force that will not accept the SKN ones as non-firearms is Yorkshire who insist they are scetion 1"
