its a little rough looking. i thought 007's were pump? Try sending it to someone and getting it smoothed out a little and powdercoated

First get it restored if it is still possible... Look like it had been beaten to death....

[to above]Nel Spots were bolt action with a pump upgrade.

Personally I think you should send it in to be palmerized.
It would be pretty sick. Probably one of a kind.

Palmerised, Like palmers pursuit shop or w/e, do you have a link.

Yeah...it looks pretty roughed up. Its gonna take a good amount of work to get it in good condition.

I might buy it..... *insert shifty smilie*


But palmer is a great way to go. Ive had three palmer guns (typhoon, PGP, P-68AT) and loved them all. It will be pricy and take a while, but the work is second to none.

I might have to give them a call

Why not just start with a better, more complete one? you can still get good examples for $50 or so. I doubt Palmers would touch it for that price. Make one good one out of two.

refurbishing a Nelspot isn't hard, it just takes a little time to get all the old paint off and sand down the rust.

Not sure Palmer does much w/ Nelspots. He seems to be a Sheridan man. You can try, I think it would be real "custom" work for him.

He does do a lot with sheridans, but i would trust him with the nelsplot (nelson valve?).

Or you could sell it to me....

Im not sure what i wanna do with it. I might try just to sand it down alot or soak it in paintthinner. Then give it a nice color.

I restored mine myself and it came out fine. The paint comes off easy with any good paint stripper. I used "Aircraft Remover" myself. Even though it's for aluminum it worked fine on the steel and pot metal grip frame. After that I just sanded and painted. The inside of the barrel I did with a shotgun hone and a cordless drill though. They're not expensive and nice to have around. Shotgun hone with cutting oil, and then a polish with a .30 cal cleaning kit; using Scotch Brite as a patch with metal polish.

Why don't you paint it purple or something? It's obviously going to take a bit of work to get it original ... so don't and have fun with it. Nelspots arn't that rare.
