Steyr M95M Restoration

[Aragorn243]

Here it is to date. I think I need to work on the color of the Turk handguard. I have mahogany stain somewhere in the house but couldn't locate it so I used English something and Ebony. Didn't get either dark enough or red enough. I have an idea to fix up the butt end also. I think I'm going to grind/sand down the cut off part to get sawdust and then I'm going to mix it with gorilla glue and fill the groove on the end and sand it down.

The barrel bands are not the final bands. The upper is missing it's stacking rod and the lower is not correct. I still need to locate the cavalry version. I did get a band spring from Numrich but I'm not real happy with it. Too thin. I borrowed the two bands off my demilled M95 until I get the others. The upper band is coming from Bulgaria.

Overall, I'm pretty pleased with how it came out. Hopefully, I can locate a lower band fairly quickly, if not, I'm a pretty patient ebay stalker.
