Restored:













It and my as issued '42 Longbranch in the last one there. Just awaiting a nice Canadian buttplate then its basic form is finished. Range testing tomorrow then I will decide if it deserves that scope in the background. If it does I'm off to learn how to solder properly then onto building a jig then time to get the files out and fire up the drill press. Things are coming together.
