So I’ve installed the Shilen match barrel, reamed the chamber with a match reamer to proper headspace and lapped and installed the scope rings and mount. Head spacing is gtg and she’s been cleaned up and fully assembled!

All that’s left is to cut/crown to proper length, float the stock a bit more, wait for my tombstone safeties to come in and figure out how to/what to paint it with. I’d love to park the barreled action like original but I don’t think it’ll take to the stainless barrel.

Looking forward to my first range day. Should have some target pics up soon.
