Villiers how long did it take you to finish your project?



Very nice Navy Shooter. I’m guessing a 1944 BSA (M47C) with a Taylor-Hobson Mk3 scope?
Took a couple of months to get a new No. 4 Mk 1 fore-stock over from Springfield, convert the wood to No 5 spec and do the Acragel bedding. Took even longer to hand polish the wood with linseed oilicon and pumice dust to get the sheen. Had to remove the patchy green oil coating on the barrel and rust blue the metal. Very glad that the two stage trigger pull is now actually even better after bedding.

After about fifty rounds quick fire, the heat flimmer prevents taking accurate aim. I´d never seen a long butt stock (marked "L") before and I especially appreciate the Parker Hale (had a -1 lense made to fit the aperture receptacle).
