I bought this years ago from CMP and started toying with it but after moving back I haven’t had much time for it. It was one of the “rusty” variants and also had the slash in the stock, though minimal.
I started shaping part of the stock to give more of a pistol grip configuration in addition to removing the scratch from the Army. I’ve also ordered new some hardware and a new spring.
Today I dropped the barrel and action off to be re-crowned and have the chamber inspected to see if it needs any work also. We talked about threading the barrel but I decided not to on this one as I’m really looking for accuracy.
Still need to do some trigger work but there’s not much more than polishing parts that can be done.
