Thank you for the tips 9.3 !
I was going to get the fore wood fitted by a stock guy , I have welded up the action , looks perfect in the white BUT I think the tigged up bit might not blue yet , might have to file it off & start again !

I now have 3 more actions 2 BSA commercial actions & a 1893 , all have machining for the volley sight , I now could fit the stock & barrel to one of these !

I have a old action that was twisted when some one took the barrel off & was thinking of making a couple of welding rods out of it to fill in the other actions machining ?

Thank you for the interest , I have the action at the bluers , for a test blue before I clean it right up , I will try to get a photo before I do , could try rust blue to get a better cover on different metals too ?

And not so much fun now , cost a bloody fortune & wont be as good as the W/R I got for Tinker .

I wish I had kept that one now ! !
