Hi, Wayne. You make excellent points. I am pretty convinced the best that can be hoped for is to make it a handsome display piece. I'm just interested in getting it to that point. For me, it is a labor of love and pretty interesting, and it costs me nothing more than some pleasant time in my shop. I didn't get anything done on it today. But I re-assembled an 1873 trapdoor Springfield rifle that can most likely be a shooter (after inspection) which will also belong to my cousin. If and when I have some visible progress, I will certainly shoot some more photos and post them. Many thanks.
