Hi Ken, Yep, just taking it nice and slowly, had a few other jobs to work on as well, like fitting in a new shower and I`m doing a bit of repainting on my camper van and fixed up my sons small outboard motor . I think this gun has come done from a plains rifle to a Hawkins brush gun, barrels only 26" long, but that is ok, makes it a bit lighter to carry around the the bush.
I`m very happy the ram hole came out nice true, as it can be a real stuff up if you don`t get it rigth the first time, so heres the drill tip I made up for the job and the ramrod snug at home, cheers,.357.
