Okay Fellas, She's out of her 24 hour Evaporust bath and I think she looks great! I found some markings that I couldn't see before because of all the dirt and grime. I stuck my bore scope down her barrel and there are maybe two areas that have very slight pitting. The chamber is in wonderful shape, much better than I thought it would be. My headspace gauges should be here in a few days and then I can start fitting the bolt. The bolt currently has a number 0 head. I have ordered a number 1 head just because I may need it. The bolt came with an extractor, extractor screw, striker, firing pin locking screw and most of the safety. I will need to get a safety spring. The current head clocks just under half it's width past the locking lug. I hope that the number 1 head clocks the same. I also ordered a firing pin and firing pin spring. I located an old post on here where somebody made a firing pin tool out of a 6mm deepwell socket. I plan to do the same.
Here's some pics: |
