I've been acquiring parts for this for around 18 months and finally got everything together and sent off. Chuck in Denver put it all together for me. He does awesome work!
That is a nice project. Congratulations on a rifle to be proud of.
Chuck did a 1917 for me and currently has another 1917 and a 1903A1 underway. I have seen him on the CMP forums over the years and would love to have his input around here.
