...
I think It came out ok.
I do have just a couple of questions for you that haven't been addressed so far in the thread if you don't mind:
Thanks for the inspiration!
- Did you cut the forend off just ahead of the inner band hole in the stock as it appears? (just behind the original position of the front band... the item marked #2 in the diagram below) and if so, I'm assuming you relocated the channel for the barrel band...
- Is the flash hider you sourced the large diameter version from Numrich? ( Flashhider, Conversion - Pre-Drilled. Blued Steel. Newly Manufactured. )
Or, as we say in the States, US Winchester Lee Navy. Navy? For MARINES! (and I suppose sailors too on occasion)....
Mr James Paris Lee, whose name is remembered every time we use it in the rifle to which he gave his name, was an American firearms designer. He also designed the US Navy Lee rifle......
Ok, you win Tac... Sorry for adding an "s" to pellet.
The thread is yours

So you really have no good reason to miss his name out, right?
