Nicely done Bernie, glad to see you getting some serious customizing done, the barrel looks great.
Apologies for not posting pics of the strip, I never got around to doing it. I've not picked up a rifle for a couple of weeks due to a house move with some serious renovation needed! Been a back breaking nightmare to be honest.
Sounds like you have the rifle stripped though now?
Hopefully going to fit a different spring to reduce the preload. It's currently at 3-4 inches which I think is causing a very harsh recoil at the moment.
