Many thanks Doco for the tools.
I had time on my way home from work today to duck into the shop of Dunlap Woodcrafts in Chantilly. Daniel was nice enough to show me around, and show me a box the full length Kragicon stocks he has ready to go. All that is left is the final milling around the finger grooves. These were all straight grained walnut. He also showed me some blanks that he could duplicate a stock from - several had very nice, mild figuring on the but up through the wrist area. He noticed I was a tall guy and even said he could leave up to an inch longer than his pattern on the butt if I wanted the extra length of pull. The only challenge will be the matching handgaurd. He can duplicate my original just fine, but does not do the clips. I'll have to study that one. Unless I can find a worthy original, I'll likely have Daniel make one and be sure to post details of his work. He also showed me some 1873 trapdoor full length stocks. Nice guy.

I don't have a bead blast setup, and don't plan to drop on one. I need to post some detailed pictures of the receiver so you can see, but it's in real good shape. I'm thinking of using one of those rust remover baths like this https://www.amazon.com/Workshop-Hero.../dp/B005JVNQPQ, or similar (WD-40 makes one, another one is called evapo-rust) to get a clean, even, bare metal without damaging the surface, especially inside the raceway. Then, go over the outside with 400 grit to knock of the very very light pitting around the door and side plate area before rebelling. Sounds like a good idea in my head - that stuff is good for many re-uses if stored airtight, is ok for skin contact, and can be poured down the drain when spent.
