Thanks for your information and suggestions. Bluing is gone from the receiver, magazine still has a little left and barrel also. Very crude dovetail hand filed The bore is in what I would say very good condition. Still have the buttstock and forend but the upper handguard is long gone. I have a Marbles Sheard front sight blade to be installed and a old pacific rear sight that a friend surface ground the back mounting surface for mounting on a flat receiver. I could try to install one of the steel dovetail filler blocks which would almost but not likely fill in the dovetail. And the winchester rear barrel mounted rear sight is long gone. Just trying to get the old girl respectable and up for some shooting. cast bullets come to mind. Frank
