Another .310 Cadet
Posted: Tue Oct 23, 2012 1:48 pm
Took a few schnaps of my Cadet today, it's another BSA from later in production with a serial number in the 83,ooo's. The bore has cleaned up reasonably well and slugs at near enough .321" groove .315" bore as close as I can measure it.
Metalwork still carries a patina of rust, which I haven't touched beyond oiling, but the woodwork has cleaned up a little with white spirits and is still soaking up the linseed oil.
It's stamped 6 .12 so a little bit earlier than Aughnanure's BSA.
The later rear sight with windage adjustment, this was seized up but freed off with a little tlc.
The Kangaroo is a bit indiscernible.
The usual reciever markings
The Cattle Killer rounds
The difference between C K rounds on left and the standard .310" round
