Bill

Sorry for the delay in responding, been travelling interstate... thanks very much for posting those images!

Wow, that is one very impressive 219

Very much along the lines I am hoping to achieve with my own 219.
Bought one of the better .25-20's I encountered, this one supposedly had been "carried more than shot" with good shiny rifling but supposedly some slight pitting above the throat.

Once I can examine it properly, I'll see how bad the throat erosion is... could be a candidate for rechambering to .256 Max (a .256 Win Mag based on the .357 Maximum case) as I have a finishing reamer and NOS Redding dies in this calibre. Will give a significant boost beyond the venerable .25-20 and even the .256 Win Mag... from what I've been able to work out could be close to the old SMLE .303-25 in ballistics from a much more compact case.

I'll have it restocked in a classic British Rook Rifle style... hoping for some 'understated elegance'.

I can do much of the metal work myself, so I'm looking forward to another project rifle... will of course keep NE members regularly updated
