Hi Buzz, yes agree. Pod, many thanks for the confidence.

Bill, I do all the filing and colour ase hardening myself. I will anneal the action too before laser welding. The laser welding will be done by probably the best in the business over here and he does a lot of other gun parts for the trade in Birmingham. He is in West Brom himself. So in terms of cost it's just my time..bar the laser welding. I've also got my engraving contact at Price Street. I'm lucky that they have become friends to a certain extent and they are just great.

Seems I'm swaying towards the full restore!
