My thinking was to leave the engraving on the receiver ring. Maybe remove the rear sight and use something more appropriate for sporting rifle. I've got a Lyman 48J sitting at home doing nothing, possible engrave it to match the receiver ring. Of course that leaves the problem of scope mounting. Either build it as a iron sight only rifle, or add a G&H side mount. But, right now I am leaning towards just shooting it as is. My son will be ready to start smallbore in a few years, this might make a good starter gun for him.
