what is the best way to clean the action? it would be nice to see what other marks are hidden under the muck and grime.

another way possibly as it`s just a deactivated rifle is to see if my mate can get one done at his engineering works then have it welded on, ok it will not be original but then again the whole rifle is a bit of a mismatch is it not, i would still rather have a piece of history than not. does anyone have any specs on the flash? length, height etc, if i have something close regarding size to give to him then i would end up with a part that is not to far off the original.

thanks

Avin,

The FE is quite an involved piece as it encompasses the sight block too, probably easier just to get hold of an original example

WD40 and an old tooth brush will fetch all the crap off Avin...
