The inside of this barrel looks better each time I run a brush and some patches through it.

I took the Marble's front-sight and dovetailed 'stud' off the barrel. The dovetails were actually nicely machined on the barrel. I have a couple of 'banded' front-sights that can be polished on the inside to fit.

I assembled parts to give a rough ideal of how this project will look.
(Note - The barrel is one turn from being properly indexed in the receiver).

BTW - The trigger-guard has been 'styled'.

I need to round up a normal trigger-guard, follower/carrier-arm, and butt-swivel, to have all the parts.

Fun like Lincoln Log .... er ... Legos!!
