Holy Catz - that beeutiful and 'vey series' rifle you have there.
Pinging Sam. There's a boat rifle for you.
I wondered about the sharpness of those quad-rails. Figures someone would have a product to lessen the impact of the rails on unprotected skin.
Brownells is quite a wish book, doesn't take long to run up a substantial total. The shock usually brings me back to reality.
Good show on finding the pieces and successfully reuniting them.
"Some hand fitting may be required" generally notifies me to keep absorbment materials, hydrogen peroxide and/or neosporin, and an ample supply of cloth backed band-aids handy.
Brownells is the bible of gunsmithing. They have tools to fix problems you don't even know you have yet.
Sometimes a tool pays for itself even if you only use it once. The Remington 700 firing pin takedown tool let me install a high-speed firing pin without injuring myself. Next to M2 mainsprings, bolt action firing pin springs scare me because they're so powerful. The right tools make it almost fun.
The set of roll pin remove/install punches have made working with roll pins fun. I never knew they existed until I saw them in the catalog. It would have saved my father and me a lot of grief on a lot of projects, not all of them gun-related.
If you can familiarize yourself with the gadgets in the Brownells catalog, you're on your way to genuine weapons geekdom, because you learn what's available, how it works, and why you might want it.
