Still in limbo

Just messin' around and painted over the scratches and stuff from the rebarrel. The color matches Parkerizing near perfect. This is high quality car paint primer.

Looking good, I especially like that wood, very clean.

A close up will show the color is as identical as you could match. NOS Cetme mag looks the same too. I doesn't scratch off like regular paint but gets the same scuff appearance as parker does went scratched. Seems to rub out the same too. I may leave it alone. I'd like an all over park job but I tend to not use things as much if they look too nice. DR

Shoot, I left the screw in the triple-frame. Big Steve recommended it and since I tend to strip set screws I used a SHCS, metric of course.

I honed the chamber like we talked about with some scotchbrite pads. Broke the wood dowel more than once. I nearly put a piece of crocus cloth in because the pad was thick. I finally figured out how to get it to stay put.
GW11 on the other board reccomended the same.
I'm supposed to get range time today! Will post results. I WILL get time this 4-day weekend or I'm going out in the back yard. May call some of you guys for bail money:icon_biggrin: Almost that desperate but not quite.

Looks purty to me!

One of these days, I'll grow the balls to strip off the glossy-esque finish and put on a true flat black or flat dark gray.

can't wait to hear the updated range report.

Range day finally. I hate the public range but that's all I could do. The rifle functioned almost flawlessy. SA ball went through fine. 1inch left, 2inch high at 50 yards. 1-1/2" group not supported(much). I'm good with that! Just testing function so I didn't even try to adjust yet.
There was a one problem and that was ammo. I'm going to post more in the ammo section since I want it to get some air. LakeCity I culled once for the short story! I thought I had good rounds but didn't.
Lot's of oohing and ahhing over the rifle. No one knew what it was or why it was "new". drine
