    The finished gahendra

    rockydog, as promised here some pics of the finished Gahendra.
    It will never be a shooter as is as the barrel has too much internal damage.
    Will be getting a .43 Mauser barrel put on it soon and then it will be a shooter.
    I had to make the stocks as the original stocks were toast.
    Used Cherry as it was a gunstock wood in use during that period.
    Anyway here are the pics.

    Can you line the barrel and keep the original exterior?

    BTW, nice job.

    Thanks Buckshot,
    A complement from you means a lot to me considering what some of yours look like.

    Looks great.
    Let me know if you stay with the 43 Mauser. I have some berdan brass with a tin of primers I might be talked out of. Also have a Ideal mould but am playing with it now for use in my 445 Super Mag.
