I got some more work done on the rifle.

the rear sight it now installed into the rib, i dove tailed the sight base in place then a soldered it in place. the leaf and ladder sights are still adjustable.

i polished the sear tip then installed a screw to make the rifle have adjustable sear engagement so i don't have to file it, i put some blue thread locker on it so i can be very finely adjusted.

I got the safety installed and working now. its just made of mild steel and its to soft but ill use that slide rod as a template and make one out of 4140 then harden it, with about 20 pounds of trigger force i can bend the safety rod and set the rifle off. i have no business working on that butt stock, i went so slow and it took so long lol luckily i didn't mark the finish, it went well.

did some fitting of small parts, got the bolt head back together using NOS screw, spring and extractor. The mag just slides in and out now and clips in place without any force now.

i think the only things that are left now are cleaning the solder off the barrel and then finish work, engraving, bluing and cch

i need to buy and install the ejector screw on the side of the receiver too.

every time i try and delete some pics and get the numbers down i just find each pic shows something the others don't so i keep too many.
