No32 Mk3 Turret "Un-seize/Repair"

[PScott]

Ever since i have had this rifle, ( 1945 BSA No4T) the No32 Mk3 has always had "seized" turrets.
Until recently it never really bothered me, but i decided i would like to have them operational again.

I set about dis-mantling the turret assemblies.

All went very well, i now see why if they are seized, and you try and force them what the results would be!!!! Severe "Breakage"

Mine were stuck fast, you can see from the attached pics... the main drum was seized into the cap housing and the clicker plate was rusted to the body.

Everyting was cleaned and lubed and re-assembled..... Now works beautifully!!!
