No JB available locally, i did get some shout out and its as clean as its gonna get. Still looks like crap and not expecting much. I think I will investigate rebarelling. Have not done that and will see if there is a capable smith in Fairbanks. Not sure on twist, with iron sights I will consider it or hope for a 200 yard hunting rifle. With that said likely 140G bullets. 1:8 twist...? Barrel, doesn't need to be anything too special for 200 yds. IMO..
Doubtful i will wear out a button rifled barrel, in fact I would be stoked if I did!.
I would like to reuse the front sight, which is a marble and makes e think this was a sporting rifle from day one, marble rear sight as well. Thinking the chamber and specifically the throat most important


For those without thumbs, it's s Garden fookin Island, not Hawaii
