About this time a nosecap arrived in the mail, so a bit more could be done
Then some shaping and sanding and a bit of oil and it was starting to look finished
I made a stock disc and set it into the buttstock
So this is not - has not been a restoration but has made a representative working carbine from an action that had a wrong barrel and a much altered stock. It may not get the purists (and the genuine gunmakers) going but as an amateur hobbyist, I really like the way this has turned out.
It will definitely be taken on an excursion into the hills after a goat or two.
