Howdy Dave T and others,
Aside from some work on the the extractor which was stiff and the forestock metal which was binding on the action, Here's what I had to do: Slim the forestock, reshape the areas around the lock plates, reshape the pistol grip (removed the ugly knob at the end of the grip), slim and reshape the nose of the comb, dress down the butt plate, strip the finish. A lot of sanding, golden oak stain under Birchwood Casey walnut stain followed by two applications of teak oil, then Three rubbings of Try-Oil and a layer of microchrystalin (sp?) wax.
Now it works great and looks like an old time coach gun.
