It is back together now. This was a quick four day refinish and maybe I should have taken more time on it. It is "good enough" for a hunting rifle that will see it's bumps and bruises. I might wait for a few weeks and hit the stock with another coat or two after the finish cures and the shrinkage is pretty well over. I needed to get it back together as I just have to much tore apart and might for get how to put some of this stuff back together. You know how "old guy's" are. Here is a shot of it back together.

That is a beauty.
What scope do you have on it? They look made for each other.

Beautiful job, Bandit. Thanks for sharing the progress along the way.
The fact that you can tear something apart and will remember how to put it back together after time away from it is very cool. It's not something I would ever expect of myself. I can't remember many things that I used to recall quickly and easily. Time away and out of mind. :D
