Very good work...
if I had found a freebie like that, I would have had the barrel cut down 3 or 4 inches and re-crowned, trigger reworked, all the metal parkerized and Arma-coated matte black by murdoc, and dropped it into a nice synthetic aftermarket stock, and called it my trunk gun.

Small update. I cold blued the but plate. It turned out OK I've had better luck using this cold blue in the past but for this project I feel this outcome is acceptable.
I also picked up a few things to get into reloading for this old girl.
120 rounds of S&B will have me shootin for a while and then i can reuse the cases, lee dies with fcd, lee case length guage and cutter so I don't have to swap the cutters back and forth when I load something else. They had everything I needed except the auto-prime shell holder, that is on order.

Looks good,,
I'm doing some reloading of 7.62x54r and just for something different started working on a light load,, 20gr of N110 behind a 155gr cast GC bullet. These have a drop of about 8" at 100yds from a factory bullet but feels like a 22 when firing, real easy on the brass.

nice work fred, now im gonna have to get another, or 2 lol. i never should have got rid of mine, i had a hard time seeing past that old shiny finish, sloppy bolt, and steel butt pad lol.
Put a couple coats of tung oil on the stock and followed that up with a light buff. The finish is very smooth I'm happy with the way it turned out. I am looking forward to shooting it again.
Will post assembled pics later today.

I just used whatever the lee dies came with (prob .308)
The S&B ammo I have is loaded with .311 but I'm sure the brass was sized at .308 from the factory just looking at the neck, you can see where the bullet seating really stretched them out as the get tighter again between the base of the bullet and the shoulder of the case...are yours the same ?
