That's got a BEAUTIFUL lustre to it now, well worth the efforts!
Have you fired it yet? How's the trigger pull feel? I assume you've not fired it enough (if at all) to get it sighted in, but I'm anxious to know how accurate you think it will be on the iron sights and/or with the long range sight leaf assembly.
Ken,
After I get done sanding on it I rub a little Old English furniture oil on it for dark woods so I can see how many and where the scratches are at.
no I haven't fired it yet, when I do I probably won't shoot it enough to actually sight it in, unless I can find someplace that has over 500 yards, no sense taking a long range rifle down to the river and shoot frog with it.
I had to make a new sight base for the sight as the first one I made had a little hiccup in it that had the sight sitting crooked on the rifle.
Trigger pull right now isn't too bad I don't have a scale to see what the actual poundage is but I have most of the creep out of it so that its pretty smooth.
I still have a ways to go with it before I can say its finished mostly its surface prep getting it ready for finishes like bluing and case coloring.
My biggest thing is to not get in a hurry and screw it up, which I thought that I had a couple times with the wood, but that's down to bedding the parts in and sanding.
