In the back of the gun cabinet in the projects dept lies a beaut BSA Model E. I acquired some nice bits for it (a new bolt stop etc) but have never taken it to a conclusion as the barrel is like a sewer pipe.
I saw that Gunworks has some of these for sale, the P14 ones are $570 which is OKish. However before I go down that rabbithole some questions . . . .
Do P14's typically shoot badly if the bore is dark and pitted ?? (I've had good luck with a Mauser that looked bad but shot OK - my Model E is in pieces otherwise I'd shoot it and find out myself)
How much gunsmithing work is required to fit a Criterion pre-fit?
