Well, Bill sent some pics today!:>) the lever still needs to be blued, and the sights will have to be zeroed, but for all intent and purposes, she's finished! I am going to wait until this winter for checkering. here she is, BTW, I am totally inept at resizing stuff, so if anybody else wishes to, feel free to zoom it so you can see the details better!

I've waiting not so patiently to get a look a what you were doing.
George is a great guy to talk to deal with.
NICE!

There is no accounting for taste.
Experience is a great thing as long as one survives it.
Generally, there ain't a lot that separates the two however,
Barely making it is a whole lot more satisfying than barely not making it.

Cat', I am curious to see how the trigger guard/lever turned out... When you get it, I'd like to see a close-up of the reshaped lever. I have two #3's with #1 wood installed. Both have had the lever reshaped. But I have yet to find a style that doesn't whack my knuckles under recoil.  BTW: Nice looking rifle. I'm thinking I need to get one of the 1-A's in .303 if indeed they ever become a reality. (Which I truly believe WILL happpen...Eventually... Someday...Maybe...) GH

There are many orders for the Rugers in 303 at Pophet river as we speak, Ruger IS doing them in a standard production run, so you will be able to have one Stateside grasshopper!:>)
I'll get the pics up for you as soon as I get the gun

Hi Cat,
I was just thinking and wondering about your .303/#3 Project earlier this week.. Looks like you have a "classic" rifle there!
Looking forward to seeing more photo's later on..
It's a great life if you don't weaken..
