    Really appreciate the input/interest from all. Thanks.
    Here's the next stages




    Solid as a rock and smooth as a baby's bottom. Bit of final fettling then on to finish. Undecided yet but would love to replicate original satin
    oiled finish. Any tips appreciated.

    Unlike others on here, I don't usually submerge my rifles in water for any periods, (usually does nasty things to blued steel finishes too) I usually also finish them in either oil type finishes (usual and personally preferred method) or varnished, so I guess I will be sticking to PVA! It's served me well over 40 years!
