No7 MK1 trainer project

[DaveN]

Progress report
I had high hopes to have had 20 complete bolt heads and some parts only kits for those who just needed parts but after a year and a half (we fell short) but we managed to ( I hope ) make five No 7 owners very happy. 6 if you include me as I managed to trade one of the bolts for a No7 rifle of my own.
As it stands and with all the time spent we are lucky if we broke even but it was fun seeing the end result. I was able to test fire every bolt in the rifle that was given to us to see if we could find or make the parts. We got an ejector a member gave so we could copy but it would not fit our rifle and we did not want to alter it as it did fit the donors rifle. When I received my rifle in the trade it fit and it was neat firing it and then ejecting the spent casing.
We took a break but now have to copy the ejector and I'll once again have to start cracking the whip. My rifle still needs a firing pin base and a magazine conversion from a sportsman five I just purchased but I'm placing me last on the list of things to do for now.
I've met through this hobby project some really great people and just want to say thanks for your help and patience.
Thanks to Bruce and Neil and Geoff and Paul and Adrian
Special thanks to Brian and Peter for your guidance and advice.
