Had the chance to shoot the rifle several times yesterday with the permanent sights installed (temporarily - if that makes any sense!) and the left barrel while still centered vertically, shot about 2.5" below the right barrel. I just came in from the shop while the solder cools from a re-do of the ribs and a slight adjustment to the spacer block. I hope I got it right but another trip to the range will be required to find out.

This old gun saw some real abuse in it's former life and was pretty beat up. I took Tinker's advise yesterday evening and went to work on the metal I've been neglecting so far. Particularly the trigger plate. The bottom of the receiver had a number of small dents from who knows what. I peened as much metal back into place as I could then went to work with the files and sandpaper. I'm really quite surprised - and pleased - how well it came out. While I'd like to clean up the sides more, it has some neat old engraving I don't want to lose.

I orgianlly approached this project simply as a learning experience, never really expecting much in the way of finished product. As I get closer to finishing though I'm sorry now I chose the (basicly) scrap piece of wood I did for the stock. Oh well, as I said, it's a learning aid and perhaps one day I'll upgrade the wood if it turns out well otherwise. I'll try to add some more photos as time permits.
