1905-R sporter restored!

[flying pig]

Here's a Ross 1905-R factory sporter I just finished. Sorry I know its not a milsurp, but rather a sister of a military rifle.

When it came to me it had a bulged barrel. I wound up having to shorten it to behind the bulge. It is now carbine length, and handles awesome! I also built a new stock for it and rust blued the metal.

Before:









And now with the new stock, bluing, and shortened (but safe to shoot) barrel:











There of course were challenges with this one. It was my first 1905-R stock. I made a few mistakes (one being the blank I chose). I fixed the chips in the stock and blended them as good as I could, and fixed a boo boo with a hole for the Harris lever pivot. Everything else went smooth as butter.
