John0313 and Al,

Thank you guys very much!

My big worry with the lugs was that someone had taken a shot at lapping or grinding them and now they make insufficient contact, but if you folks think that it shows enough, that sets my mind at ease...as long as the headspace hasn't been set back.

I'd be happy to engage Greg's services but I have booked it a visit to a very good smith up here who is a collector of Winchesters and quite accomplished.
