^ OK,

1.Dispense with the "monte carlo" and reshape the butt to a WR profile with "shadow line" cheekpiece.
2. Slim the fore-end a touch and incorporate panels to that and butt as per the 1905? catalogue. 3. Eliminate the abrupt transition from an octagon to round on the barrel.
4. Reshape the barrel band (but as this appears integral and too small to enable a reshape) then use a more traditional profile either sweated or soldered.
5.Reshape the arse end of the rear sight base.
6. Reprofile the foresight base to refelct the original makers intent.
7.Dunno if abt the lever can be reshaped but it needs SERIOUS work to reshape or replace; otherwise in current form it's a very poor bit of work and entirely outside the WR profile.

FWIW I have 3 originals.
