I cannot remember if I posted this before.

It goes home tomorrow, so I tried to get some last, good pictures.

Pictures of the "Before" at the end of the post.

This has been a fun, and teaching project. My first lever gun renovation. First time I had parts case colored. Many other small details that taught me something new as I worked through this project.
