Good morning
Previous owner (member here) of this barrel / receiver asked if I could post some pictures of my restoration project so I thought this was the best place to do so.
Been slowly getting the parts together and mounted. Nice frame (no finish but with good character) and very shootable barrel.
I have a WANTED add posted as to parts I still need... The most important part needed is the 3 hole or Early lower tang.

Pictured in the tray are a few extra parts that have been accumulated through purchases. Mike in ILL

That appears to have been a beauty in her day!

I look forward to some more in-progress pics...and some finished pics in due-course.

Looks interesting, hope you can save the wood. Buttstock has some nice figure in it. Have you tried Track of the Wolf or BACO for the lower tang?
