I was able to return this rifle to a decent semblance of shape with the specific help of a forum member. I worked everything else out from what I learned from experience regarding previously completed projects and specific information from prior authors.
With a few minor sight adjustments things began to fall into place nicely with no cause for alarm regarding function or a trip back to the work bench. This particular rifle type is most interesting to me because of the interaction of all the related working parts. So much in that regard that Ill continue to tinker about with them when the opportunity presents itself. Thanks for looking.
