    They are a few months behind on fulfillment, so while you wait you can clean up your parts and work on smoothing out fit and function. A fine sandblasting and re-bluing will make it a pretty shooter. looks like you have some duplicate parts so you can be choosy .

    chuckndenver does a great job at bluing or parkerizing, among other things. He usually has an ad on forum - warpath vintage llc.
    Very nice and a bargain for $199.95 US Pity we can't get them to do some .303 barrels as well, preferably in a blued finish.

    I guess that means they are out there, in theory at least.
