M Paul Lloyd 0 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Hi all, I have to admit that I doubt I'll be a great poster, I just don't have the time to be honest, but just wanted to say hello to you all before raiding your archives for information. I have to admit guns and such had taken a bit of a back burner role over the years and it was only when my eldest went into the MoD that my old interests got rekindled. Then I found myself with time on my hands after an operation and decided it was time to sort out that rusty old BSA Meteor that my Dad had kept at the back of his shed ever since I went and joined the RAF over 30 years ago, the only one of two survivors of a veritable armoury of such weapons that I once owned. The other is the working parts of a Sussex Armoury .22 Jackal which I'm not sure quite what to do with yet, but I may possibly try and get a replacement stock for it, or maybe even make one if such things do not exist on the market. Anyway that's my intent, hope its ok with you all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

M Paul Lloyd 0 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 (edited) Yes Catcher a very plasticy M-16 style stock as I recall, a bit military for my tastes, at least after overdosing on the FN whilst I was 'getting some in'. It seems to be quite well made, a bit angular but functional and seemingly indestructibly tough and with a lttle work could end up a handsome looking piece. I was hoping for a wooden stock along the lines of an Air Arms (who I believe took over production of the Jackal,) Bora perhaps? Although I seriously suspect that I may have to make my own. And hello Ian. Edited September 3, 2009 by M Paul Lloyd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
