Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

The wood is ready and the barrel and receiver have been blued, time to assemble this bad boy



First we install the sights on the barrel, one trick I learned was to use a pencil to cover the edge of the sight with graphite, before using a brass punch to drive the sight on, this prevents leaving any marks on the sight.....and yes I know I put the sight on backwards....I fixed it after I took the picture.....




Then install the barrel onto the receiver



Then goes in the polished aftermarket bolt, the reblued charging handle and my own home made bolt buffer



Then goes on the trigger assembly, using some aftermarket pins that I sell.



Finishing touches, I had to install the plugs for the scope rail


We use a custom take down screw made by yours truly (see how I made it here).


Then a coat of wax 



Finished!
