Progress on my Stevens Model 12 project is going S-l-o-w-l-y due to my limited "Discretionary Spending funds" of late.
However; there has been some progress:
- I have received the Model 12 back from my gunsmith with the 'light Strike problem believed corrected.
- I now have a replacement Forearm Stock piece and have marked the barrel for the retainer screw hole position.
- Now I need to get together a proper thread Tap (bottoming type) and a Tap drill size Twist drill to fit a Stevens Retaining screw, which i also need to get.
- I have sights on the Rifle that need to be adjusted at the Range, which I have not gone to do because of lack of funds.
- I do have a few .32 Long Colt cases made into RF Adapters so I will be able to fire this one eventually.
- I have a small Supply of 90 grain Heeled Bullets Lubed and ready for loading.
So almost all preliminary work is done and now I need to earn some spare money, difficult as NO Work Calls frommy Union dispatcher have come in.
I guess this is similar to Military "Hurry up and Wait" conditions.
