Wot??? Do tell. Start a new thread, this sounds interesting.

It's coming. I got the Anschutz banging away again today, but need a couple of days for the photos to start a new thread

Sorry everybody, the last two post are in the wrong order, which makes it a bit confusing. I am having trouble with the software again, which doesn't let me edit posts at the moment.

Thanks for all the replies and advice. She's all back together now.

Only remaining question about the hole in the fore end stock just in front of the barrel band closest to the action: is there supposed to be a steel pin in here? I don't see a part listed anywhere. I might just have to fabricate one from some round steel rod stock.

Yes, there is a thin metal pin with rounded ends to stop the barrel band moving. The ends of the pins should not be higher than the highest part of the band. They often get lost or rusted.. Just make them from mild steel and either oil or chemical blue..
