There was a rather nasty chunk of metal missing from the lower left corner of the frame. This had to be built up with some weld and dressed back down.

And the "New Old Stock" forend is dressed down all around to fit the frame. Also, the forend iron clearance sculpting on the bottom of the frame was cleaned up. The first old photo shows the amount of metal that had to be removed from the iron.
These NOS irons are oversized enough to where they can be fitted to 0, 1 or 2 frames.
