thanks for the idea on the snap cap. I have 1 30-30 round. I was going to pull the slug, dump the powder and see if the primer fires.
Now on to the progress. parts should be here Friday, I noticed the lever safety wasnt protruding through the bottom tang. there was a small burr on it, knocked off the burr, put the spring on it and the trigger safety works.
found a correct pattern stock on Ebay for 66 dollars shipped. it's a factory second, correct pre 1936 92 or 94 carbine stock. I'm thinking after fitting it, see how to go about making it look weathered so it doesnt look too out of place.
Goal is to be able to have this thing shooting and 100% functioning for under 250 dollars. jim
