Very nice Justin. I know you can't wait.

It's terrible! I was ok until I saw a picture of the finished product.

Today's the day! It's supposed to be waiting for me at the post office. I'll get it cleaned up really well today. I bought a new Sinclair rod guide and a new Dewey cleaning rod. Both will be used on this rifl exclusively. Then, I need to mount my scope and level it. I did not do the best job getting it level before. I've got about 30 175 SMK's loaded up over 43.1 gains of Varget. That should be enough to complete a proper break-in, zero, and give a quick check of accuracy. This rifle with the old barrel would group that ammo a little under 2" at 200 yards. I'm hoping to see alot better than that tomorrow!

I'm ready to see it and assist you in getting it ready to shoot if you need my assistance. When are you going to pick it up?

I've been camped out at the post office since the kids went to bed last night!

Great looking rifle, I hope it does everything you want it to do.

Excellent work for sure.
