The barrel has arrived and is indeed quite dark. Lots of strong rifling, though, and I think it will be just fine.
Will try threading it on this afternoon so be watching for an update!

As long as the extractor grooves are and the sights are TDC, who gives a damm? Let's see it all done?

I'm headed home now to put it all back together....and too the range tomorrow!
As pointed out in the original thread, the stock was pretty heavily sanding so the buttplate stands proud of the wood. I was contemplating filing it down a bit to match more seamlessly. I'm not typically one to make irreversible changes like this but...I don't know. What do you guys think? Or perhaps just doing a patch?

Don't file down the buttplate... Everyone knows the stock has been sanded, you aren't going to hide anything, just ruin the buttplate.

Well, having a bit of trouble tracking down some ammo. May not get to the range this weekend after all.
I did get it put together though and everything looks great!
Thanks for following along!

Alas, the days are long past when Canadians and Americans could cross the border freely with guns and ammo to attend shoots or 'plink' on a relative's farm.
Around 1957, when I was nine years old, Canadian relatives gave me some of my great-grandfather's 'stuff' in order to keep it in the family. I hate to think of the hassle that would be involved, today, getting the rifle from Ontario to Michigan.

Check Cabelas and other online sellers. Remington 180 grain ammo is currently in the pipeline and available. There is a $5.00 Remington rebate.

The Cabelas near me didn't have any on stock. They tell me site to store shipping is free though so I may do that.
I'm headed back to Kentucky for a visit this coming weekend. Should probably take it back to Kentucky for visit too, huh?
