ForrestBI really like the effort and the results thus far. A couple of questions though: Has the action been altered to remove the charger hump? Are you planning to single-squarebridge the action?

heavenknowsJudged by the position of the rear end of the extractor a part of the rear bridge (including the charger hump) was cut away.
The rifle was cut away at the charger hump.....just like an early Jeffery and it will not be square bridged. Thank You for the kind comments.
That is a beautiful classic and I have a feeling it will be worth more to you than the money and time you put into it. Could you imagine what Teddy Roosevelt would have done with that rifle on his 1 year safari!! History would be changed and we would be reading about his 1 gun adventure.
