Well some time has gone by and I'm still playing with the Vetterli and making some progress.
I've got some lead bullets and have the dies on order, looking for brass but a vendor up here has some Lebel at not a bad price. A gentleman I approached on Cdn Gunnutz sent me a spare firing pin he had so that saves me a bit of work. Got the stock refinished, its been cut to sporter length but will do for now. Just a brief update - take care all. --- John
