My gunsmith called me yesterday to tell me that he had finished making the front receiver screw. I picked up the parts today and put the finishing touches on the old girl. I'm very happy with how this project came out. My end goal was to make her look like a well-maintained 130 year-old hunting rifle. The sunlight really shows off the beautiful grain of the stock.
I have 129 and 160 grain ammo loaded and I was able to source some en bloc clips. I'll report back after I take her to the range.
