Sighting through the bore shows the bend clearly although the photo isn’t good.
Barrel straightened and checked in our dedicated alignment jig! Would be interesting to have it on surface plate/vblocks/DTI or similar sometime but have to go with what we’ve got.
On with the stock. Clamp removed then thunder screw set in glue and fixed across fracture line.
Screw recess filled and smoothed to disguise the head. Only done for personal taste. Not really necessary and, wouldn’t, not intended to fool anyone.
Stock dents steamed, rubbed down with scotchbrite, and walnut oiled a few times.
Getting quite excited now.
Pistol grip ugly but sound
Back to where we started A most satisfying trip
