Nice, I settled a few years back for a black synthetic stock and did the bolt conversion instead of taking it to a gunsmith to turn down the bolt. I have had no problems with the screw on turned down bolt, but it would look nicer if it was not a screw on. I may have to get a newbolt and turn it down any suggestions where to get one?
Just this night, I took off the rear sight and grinded the sight bracket of and polished it up - also shortened the barrel. After polish and reblueing, it looks way nicer.
Now it looks like a more modern rifle ( do have scope mounts that accept weaver stlye brackets as well).
