Thanks for the support....
I have no illusions of it ever being like a brand-new, unissued piece....Even right off the bat I will put on the nice wood set I have....That will get me going....I know it won't be an easy one, but I'm up for a challenge...The parts seem to be out there...(optics will be a problem, but I knew that going into it...)...
The journey begins...
