I'd really like to join that site but it won't let me register, says registration is deactivated...

Never mind I figured out why, figured it must have been something like that. See you over there!

Here's the updated pictures after a thorough cleaning. Bore has strong rifling but the grooves are just pitted enough to be rough and dark. maybe with any luck it will improve with some shooting? Wishful thinking I bet...

Stock turned out great. Love the colors! Should have worn gloves for the photos, the streaks are from me.

Having some good luck on parts too, see how things go in the coming weeks! Have some good leads and some awesome new contacts. Thanks to everyone who has helped with this!

Think I'll take it to Corelane's and see if there gunsmith is confident that he can solder that rear sight back together. If he has any doubts at all I'll wait to find someone who is 100% sure. I really like that shop and I'm sure they will do a fine job, they build rifles for a living after all!

What are you guys' opinions on the blueing on the barrel? The original blue under the rear hanguard is beautiful and bright. Wondering if I shouldn't just take paint stripper to that soft chipped ugly black paint on the barrel and have a pro reblue the barrel. Also had rust blueing suggested too.
Did a quick function test with a .303 snap cap, the magazine won't feed and the rifle extracts but does not eject. Any ideas?
