Re: Fraser Magazine Rifle Project

Yes, though I've been spending a lot of time on development for my website the past few weeks.

I now have a 26" profiled barrel per the Fraser style. This weekend I will drill and tap the barrel and action, and make up a knurled thumb screw to incorporate Fraser's take-down method.

The safety and bolt stop have been reshaped. They just need to be serrated and checkered respectively.

I filed up a Fraser front sight in all of its elegant sleekness. I have examples where Fraser sometimes incorporated a very minimal band on his front sights - about 20 thou. thick at the most. I've always liked the unique look of it, and so decided to utilize it as well. I'm about to matte/stipple the ramp and serrate the top of it. I have examples where Fraser did this, and examples without it, and examples with one treatment but not the other. Having said this, it currently resides atop my Ruger Flattop Target Bisley in .44 Special. It had been begging me for a banded front sight for some time.

I'll try to get some pictures taken and posted over the next few days.
