Hello Ian, I stripped it to nuts and bolts, but i had the AP for the seat for re assembly. I only had the seat pan, headbox and rails blasted. Everything else was either refinished by myself or replaced with boxed time expired stuff off evilbay at a time when it was plentiful.The main gun was in good nick, so i left it as is. I sold the seat a couple of years ago in my wisdom, but i’ll find my photos and post them.
