Very nice.  I like to see those old CVA rifles dressed up pretty.

Thanks for the complement Mario,  remember it;s only a chunka wood, give it a go.  Measure, & take your time I sure do.  That rifle has about 60 hours in it.  These days a fella needs SOME distraction from the world...................TOM

Been done, Tom. Between lack of talent, lack of patience and Carpal Tunnel in both hands, the gun has won every time...

I am with Mario on the gun building. I tried it a couple times and know enough to buy/trade for the work now.
