Make sure to post up some photos of what the final product turned out like.  We can get a before and after comparison, this has been a great restoration project & I've enjoyed seeing the progress you've made.  clap1

1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms... It doesn't matter how many Lenins you get out on the street begging for them to be taken.

WOW!  That is truly awesome, I really mean that, I cannot thank you enough!  There is no way under the sun I could have done anything remotely close to that. Especially starting out with the green beast that you had to start with :)

As promised, here are a couple of quick pictures of the almost finished rifle. I have to  touch up the blue on the end of the barrel and a couple of other spots. Somehow I pulled off getting the FSB on there without cant.  LC did a great job on the stock and ground down an FSB for me. A huge thanks to everyone but honestly without LC this thing would not have made it this far at all. Thanks LC.

I will post some more when I get a bit more time.

Turned out most excellent!!   thumb1

Many would be hard pressed to tell that this gun had actually been bubba'd so badly.  You're a credit to the collecting community Agrace for seeing this one all the way through to the end and correcting everything that needed done even down to the TG.  Excellent job to be proud of (obviously with help from LC and co., but you had the finished product in your mind and saw it through!)
