I bought a BSA Nr1 Mk3. It's about as dirty as you've all seen on a 1916 gun.
So far it's matching numbers. No import marks or an FTR.
As I clean it up I'm finding what looks like bright green paint on the action and the muzzle piece and the bolt and the trigger guard. Whats that about?
Thanks
Rats! It's a nr 3 mk1
Still got green paint on it though.
Any ideas?
