I started messing around with 1939 BSA No1 MkIII to see what I was dealing with. There are a few bits missing but they've been ordered. The musty/moldy stock has been washed and dried and all the metal has been de-gunked.
The receiver had a little rust and very fine pitting but predominantly bare steel showing. I did some steaming, carding and rust bluing and it's looking pretty presentable. I also did the bolt (where appropriate), the cocking piece and the nose cap. I'm really liking this rust bluing sorcery.
