Re: The 10/22 Spencer Carbine Project
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.
Next I installed the barrelled action into the stock and checked the fit of the barrel band.
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
Now it fits
I then cleaned up the barrel band to prepare it for satin black paint

Re: The 10/22 Spencer Carbine Project
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.
I'll have more pictures on my blog soon

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