BSA Lightning Project - Help Needed

[12gsnapcaps]

Hey all!

I'm restoring a BSA Lightning and plan to give it to my nephew (After i play with it for a few months!)

If anyone has any spare bits lying around, especially the pins from the trigger - please could you let me know?

Current issue is the Sear spring support pin has sheared off and I cant find a replacement online. Emailed BSA but no response.

It's the Mk1 Lightning, so not the XT or the GRT.

Thanks all!

@12gsnapcaps if you're struggling I can make you a pin on my lathe.

That's very kind of you! I'm not sure what the dimensions are however. Does anyone know the dimensions?

Have you tried Chambers air rifle spares, pretty sure they will carry them all?

Tried them all! It's a specific part called the 'sear spring support pin' which they dont have

Tried them all!

have you got the broken bit to measure? Can you figure out how long it needs to be?

Ive got part of the broken bit! I can't find the other bit. I was using the 'screwdriver trick' to compress the spring and was using the pin as a fulcrum and when i released the tension the pin went the way of the dodo and flew off (i was wearing safety ... sunglasses)

OK @takbok I've measured the trigger housing with digital calipers and figured the pin should be 12mm long and 2.27mm wide ... roughly!

Perfect. What's the diameter of the the broken bit that you still have?

Send me your address.

Do the Meteor and Supersport have the same part?

I believe so
