Lewis MG Recently Aquired And Looking For A Butt Stock


Recommended Posts

Good day all!!

 

I wanted to share my Lewis which i recently aquired.

 

First i would like to say that the AA sight it has it is a big Crosshair, and it is British stamped.

 

I am also looking for a Butt stock or the metal parts for it..

mine is rotten and missing one Buttplate screw and the sling swivel.

 

i will post photos soon.

 

Thank you!

Lewis just a couple of pics..

 

at the Shop for renovation.. as you see it has decades of grease...

Thankfully no pitting!! Just the lost color..

 

By the way what is correct best color tint ?? Grey Black, Grey Green ?? something else?

Well after almost a year the Lewis is almost ready...

Many hours of work on it, and the photos dont bring out all the details..

 

stripped down, degrease, glass blasted, re-blued, and the stocks refinished.... it is a diamond if you ask me!

one problem though.. the spring has corroded and is extremely fragile.. so i am looking information about it.. are there any spares? can i make a new one? and if yes how many meters long it is ??
