About the only thing I have finished so far is the stock work. I added an ebony nose cap after shortening the forend about 4 inches and worked it down to an appropriate profile. The butt stock required quite a bit of work as a result of being oil saturated. But after leeching as much oil out of the wood as possible and using acraglas to reinforce the softened areas it has become quite presentable. I was able to steam out most of the dents although a couple had to be filled because the wood fibers were broken.

I am currently trying to obtain the nessesary parts to finish the project. I have a couple different sight options - A BSA Martini Cadet rear sight or a single fixed, two folding express rear sight. I have some replacement screws for the ones with damaged heads. A new firing pin is on the way and I located a bolt head charger guide in the UK,but it is a bit pricy.

I would still like to find a couple of Mk 3 magazines in VG to Exc condition.

And I still haven't figured out how to post photos to this site. ---------------GeezerD
