Recently acquired barreled receiver missing only minor parts. I quickly gathered the required parts to make it functional and had the CMPicon boys put a new barrel on while at Perry. Priority one was to be able to shot in local matches ASAP. Winter project is to gather correct parts, probably have Chuck in Denver refinish metal, restock with new matching wood.

Is there a list posted somewhere telling me what parts are correct for a SN 146,000? I know most of them should have an "E".

Probably Chuck questions.......when refinishing the metal what all comes apart? In particular I assume the front sight is removed to clean and prep but is it installed before blueing/park? I am concerned about reassembling finished parts without damaging the finish.

Can refinishing be done without removing the barrel? It turns out this gun is very accurate. I am concerned about removing and reinstalling changing the harmonics. I'm sure there are varying opinions on this.

I am open to opinions and suggestions. Yes, I am considering not touching this gun and looking for another one to restore.
