Siamese Contract SMLE Restoration

[BushyFromOz]

So, this resto will actually comprise of 2 firearms, the donor firearm that is providing most of the woodwork and several of the screws, as well as the Siamese Contract rifle which is a total mismatch of several timbers. and has some rust on the left side of the receiver ring where someone has stamped a serial number into it with what looks like a center punch and left the metal bare.

im going to try and do it in 3 parts.
The first being the tear down and disassembly of the donor rifle for the woodwork.
The second will be cleaning up and re-stocking the contract rifle.
Thirdly the repair of the mess on the receiver ring of the Siamese contract rifle if its possible/feasible
