to be fair its age most of the work is age i.e new stock screws two slight dents in stock from hunting (just a guess) and few little rust patches which I recon will come out with 3 in1 oil n wire wool and ill try patch the blueing up worse part is am unsure if to strip the stock back and redo or do I try lift the residue from the camo tape and buff it back up as I actually like the look of it sorta worn oldy look lol

I have my late dad's tornado that wants the same. I would appreciate any help on what you've fitted.

Usable really. The twin springs didn't really work in my option.

no the twin spring was a thing they tried lol n cause it kicked like a donkey in a mood it was super powerfull no reall way of measuring ftlb back then other then the recoil lol

so you have a few options their is a made kit to transfer it to a main spring and guide ect or I can give you lists of parts from other guns to do it if you have facebook can speak over that and ill help out where I can :)
