Ed,
thanks for the kind words. I am proud to have been involved in saving this mistreated old carbine!
I want to add my thanks to all who contributed information, parts, and encouragement during the project, it was a "village" effort for sure.

I vote for a trip to Danner asap for a rust blue finish, it will look great - without the "shine".
At the same time, you can get Jim to refresh the wood checkering, stain, and give it a little finish- you won't believe how good it will look! JMHO.
