Bill, those were the days when the title "Gunsmith" really meant GUNSMITH and the associated blacksmith and engineering skills were really envied. An age gone by... I worked with just such a gunsmith in my younger days back in the late '60s and early '70s... I learned more from him in two years than I could have learned in any tech school program..

By Today's standards, people who can afford the license and can mount scope sights using screwdrivers and ready-made mounts, and change parts they have ordered from catalogs use the same "title"... it just doesn't mean as much.

A really nice conversion IMHO... Has the ejector been modified to work with the conversion or is it standard?

thanks for sharing the details with the forum.
