looks good to me...charlie

Wow! Great job and excellent photos of before and after. Looks as though we may have another quality source for our doubles.

Some observstions... top lever should be case colored, not blued. Same goes for the forend screws. And checkering borders should be Mullered.

Other than that, all looks in order. Nice looking repair on the wrist.

Yes I agree, but as I specify this project is renovation not restouration, renovation is done to a customers preferred configuration, restouration is done to a factory original configuration, in that case a lot has been different then as factory configuration. Checkering was requested to be sharp not "muller" as original, same with the rest of features. The difference between restouration and renovation is significant and true and expensive restouration makes firearm imposible to determine if it been redone or it is original. But that is a whole another story.

My mention of mullered borders has nothing to do with the sharpness of the checkering.

I understand it's a shaped border or outline, I make a tool my self to accommodate original shape as require but again not on that request. Your work loom great on your web.

Nice web, I'm so busy that I don't have time and need for beautiful web

Does any one do pitted bbl lining anymore?
