Hi, Bob

This is where I get the chance to toot my own horn!  ;-)
I can handle that job for you.  The problem with it going off upon cocking needs to be repaired immediately - that is a dangerous situation.

However, in all fairness, concerning the re-bluing, I must tell you that rebluing an older b.b gun destroys "collector value".  So you need to be aware of that.

I can handle that job for you, too!  Thus,

I am also aware that a b.b gun of that vintage, sometimes, has started to rust, so refinish is manditory in order to preserve it.  So this is something you need to determine - whether or not it should be reblued.  

I suggest you check out my website
<http://ahsystems.cjb.net/>  from where you can e-mail me with additional questions, for further instructions, and/or mailing address for the repair and refinishing.

Sincerely,

Old Injun
