I would enjoy hearing about your vintage rifle project. Like hard to find parts replaced, parts made or repairs to come up with a shooter. Fellow shooters that helped you through the project!
I am in the middle of a project right now with a 07 Winchester.351SL. Besides repairing the wood forearm which was in pieces, I had to come up with a barrel with a good bore, front and rear sights, firing pin, trigger spring, recoil spring, buffer, buffer washer, sleeve spring, sear spring, hammer link, magazine and butt plate screws. The seller would not disclose most of the problems with the gun when I asked him. So I ended up with a pig in a poke. I guess you can say that the project adventure is priceless plus my own reward in knowing what I went through to get the final shooter. Not to mention what I am still learning in the process. My sincere thanks to Maxreloader (Brett), fellow member, for giving me a couple of trigger parts. Not forgetting Battis (Dave) who has been my guide through it all, sharing his knowledge of WSLs. I still have to get with my long time shooting buddy, Jim, to help me with the barrel swap. /Chris
