This my first attempt at a vintage rifle restoration..... hopefully I didn’t do anything that I will get BBQed for ��. So this barreled receiver sold here on the trader back in May sometime, my friend and one of my mentors in collecting bought it (ljoconnor). It was in a Steyr stock and was made up of WWII parts besides the barreled receiver. I ended up with the rifle, thanks Larry! And decided to try to do a restoration. I posted a WTB add in the trader here and eventually was offered an RC SS Conversion deathshead stock. I got the RC stock and imperial bayonet lug, bent gew 98 bolt and imperial front band, trigger guard/ floor plate from (runner). Thanks Frank! The bent bolt is non matching but made up of imperial parts besides the armorers WWII extractor. I ground the hook off the front band. The only WWII parts on the rifle now are: the front sight base which was on the barreled receiver when I got it, it’s cut for a sight hood which I put on it. The blade is an unnumbered gew blade. The band spring is unnumbered and and the rear band is a E/63 armorers band that I found. The rear sight parts are as I bought the receiver and are WWII. I bought the front and rear guard screws which are WWII armorers. Please tell me what you guys think and where and what I could improve.
