Gunparts is prob'ly the bottom line, tho some unfinished repo's are roughly the dame price range. Whatever the source, they gets re-shaped skinny-wise and given a soaking dull spar varnish treatment.

Skinner rear is still in first place - and something durable and highly visible for front -- not decided there. Didn't find the Marlin receiver sight,yet. Going thru the hoard for the weekend gunshow, where I hope to dispose of some more clutter, so it may turn up.

Found a set of No4 En-file-d stocks I'd hacked, bondo-ed, and whittled into Pukka Sahib express forms. Like so many projects, I ran out of butchered enfields before they were perfected. Realized a California stock company was pretty close to mine, and readily available. Moved 'em to the workbench, anyway. Happy powder smokes to you & yr'un, and venison barbecues this winter.
