Here is the top lever after machining. I leave the final shaping to do by hand as there is so much character in the top lever shape, I didn't think I could get it just right on the mill, and it's not all that much to do with a file anyway.

the top lever with the cam for the lock slide.

The action has an additional pocket for the lever cam, it's being machined here. I always get nervous when machingin in confined spaces. Machines can do freaky thing from time to time.

once the pocket is cut and deburred, the top lever and associated parts can be installed and checked for fit.

Looks like I did OK :-)

The rifle's future owner wanted sling swivels installed. I didn't want the front eye to be too close to the forend, so I made a small rib to create some distance.

and here is the top side

Starting to look like it's little brother ( the stocked rifle is a .22lr, this one will be .22 hornet)
