Restoring a sporterized P13... My turn to play

[tatou]

Alright... this is a somewhat follow up to a thread that was made in the forum ''Gunsmithing for Old Milsurps'' 7 years ago.
Btw i hope i'm in the right forum, so adm. if i'm not pls let me know and i'll move to the right one.

So anyway... a fellow enthusiast had purchased this sporterized Pattern 1913 trial rifle and was planning on restoring it.
I guess he soon changed his mind because 2 years ago i found the same rifle for sale and immediately purchased it with the same plan.
I had a few projects on the bench i needed to finish before tackling it, that also gave me the time to put funds aside for the project.
I waited a while before even mentioning i had this rifle, to be sure it would be made... i now am confident enough it will be done.
So lets start from the beginning.

This is the rifle when i purchase it.
