Looks fair, and quite a lot of use, or neglect around the nipples.

Runastav, your buddy Alf did a great job of building up those lugs... and looks like you did well with the filing to shape as well.

Are the ribs still nice and solid on he barrels?

Hi Guys! Curtis, yes the barrelribs is firm and nice and not damask. New toe/sear silver solder spring steel, and it works but its NOT a Bob Roller lock ;)

Hi all, and thank you Curtis! The screw for brake spring is small 2,5mm! Around the skrew for the safety there is a screen protector? and was missing on one lockplate. So made this tiny part and silversolder.
