Final bit's after getting the bore relined. The ramp the extractor rides up on was too steep to let it engage the shell rim, fixed, new blade on front site, fixed, fabbed a peep for the rear site, done. Shoot's great at 25yds, off hand kneeling. The pic is of a 3" target......5 out of 5!

Looks like it's time to go Woodchuck hunting!

What a neat "walking around the country" gun.

Thumper,

Thank you for the report. Now the bore is just like it came from the factory those many years ago.................
