I don't have much to show for what's been done on this rifle in the last little while. I drilled and mounted the butt stock only to find out I cut the pistol grip at the wrong angle and to short when I roughed it out, so i have since been looking for someone to make me a stock for this rifle. now that I'm paying someone to do it ill be able to get what I really wanted in the stock.
i bought a NCG "classic 3 leaf express sight" for my rear sight and I noticed with this thin barrel profile (LEC profile but only 19") that the sight looks to wide and out of place. also in the base I make for the express sight I want to add in a ladder sight too. and such a big sight on a skinny barrel looks odd.
so now the plan is to get a new barrel (I have a reamer lined up) and cut it to 24" and don't turn it down to such a slender profile then install a full rib then in that rib (I have one off a mauser barrel lined up i believe) it has an dovetail for the rear sight and an intergraded front sight ramp in it
I'm also going to send the fish belly mag (when its finished) the bolt and the barrel nut to be engraved. after the barrel nut is engraved ill send that for CCH
on the bolt I'm getting the knob knurled and the handle, dust cover lugs and bolt head fancied up with the same pattern that will go around the mag and barrel nut
I added a pic of what I want the mag bottom to look like and its the same pattern I want around the barrel nut and on the bolt handle/dust cover lugs/bolt head
this is not my pic of the mag.
also I need to figure out the grip cap, forend cap and but plate still.
