Nice one - I have a soft spot for the action, and recently succeeded in purchasing one myself (pretty hard to find one that's affordable, actually). Yours is a nice one, nice PG stock. Mine is a MBL rifle in no.2 Musket, but not sure if the bore can be 'rescued' as it is pretty rough. However, it is a Geo. Gibbs, so I probably won't be using the action to build a new rifle :-). I still have to start the cleanup of the poor thing.
FWIW, in my eyes the Field is a bit like the Brit Hiwall - but simpler (which is good in my book): Extremely strong, compact, fast locktime. Maybe a bit "boxy", but its positive features more than compensate for it. Not that many were made, so they aren't all that easy to find.
