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!

lovely rifle, is it going to be checkered? Perhaps with English style diamonds?

I am going to leave the checkering choice to bill Leeper, likely but 22LPI point checkering was discussed this spring, I dunno, MAYBE English diamonds.....

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!

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...)

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..

I'd really like to see sum bigger picts of the darlin'. That's just a tease.

Nice.
