BSA 308 Project "She lives again"

Been a long winded project as i have been very slack with getting onto it but after alot of hours its finally done
Picked it up on trademe cheap for a project as i had never done anything before so thought it would be fun
Stripped the stock down
played with the checkering the best i could with some small files :)
Stained and oiled the stock
free floated the barrel channel
stripped down all the rust and bluing and reblued barrel and action etc
this is the end product
Enjoy

Nice job.

the floor plate was steel so it got blued, the alloy trigger guard just got the old paint in a can treatment :)

Thanks guys i think it looks pretty good, a little disappointed in the finish of the bluing on the bolt but will do for me.

Well i went down the range today
after loading up some 150g Nosler BTs at 46g 2208 sighted in then shot 2 3 shot groups
The 1st one was this and the 2nd group was exactly the same, i couldnt believe what i was seeing!!!
Here i was hoping for about 1.5-2" groups and this is what i get
So im quite happy :) measured .605 Inch
Not bad for a Old BSA
