Coming down to the end.

I installed the extended magazine release and performed an action job.

The rear leaf sight I bought would not fit, so I installed this Williams peep sight. While the picatinney rail doesn't look period correct, the peep sight does.

Image

Next I installed the barrelled action into the stock and checked the fit of the barrel band.

Image

As I expected it would not fit as the new location is farther up the barrel where it is thicker. I needed to remove some material with a file

Image

Now it fits

Image

I then cleaned up the barrel band to prepare it for satin black paint

Here it is "done" for now, I will be adding a dove tail filler blank and swapping the peep site for the version without the picatinney rail.

Very nice, it looks like it's 100 years old and brand new at the same time! Nice finish on the stock.
