    I completed this back in March. I've attached 4 pictures, the witness marks where it locked up hand tight, the bolt on the No-Go, the bolt on the Go, and the finished rifle. Barrel is a 5-44 Remington. I used all the parts that were marked with a "R" so it would be as close to an all Remington rifle as I could build with what I had already acquired. The stock has no visible markings that I saw. I do have a set of 03A3 sights, but I kind of prefer the view thru the peep hole of the Lyman sight. It's a shooter after all.

    I assembled the Santa-Fe receiver on the sporterized barrel, it screws to the witness marks hand tight (just about how tight it was before I split it from the barrel it had). It's a paper weight now. So if anyone was wondering I'm NOT shooting or selling that.

    I have yet to test fire, been to busy. I enjoyed this project quite a bit. I think I need to build something now. I do have a Mauser with a crack in the wrist of the stock... maybe I should learn stock repair next.

    Thanks All!
