    Ok fitting all done and as expected Garry lowered the top of the cheek piece to get a better fit for the peep sight

    Bit of work to be done reshaping the pancake cheek piece and the just final finishing to come, guessing another few weeks and will be ready for installing front sight, barrel shortening and cerakoting

    Really happy so far, by the looks of the samples Garty made up the final will be awesome. Apparently 2 other guys thought mannlichers would also be cool as they are ordering blanks

    No African hardwood though, pretty hard, will turn out real cool when polished though so glad I got in first

    Couple of links some other projects Garry has done

    A Martini Enfield 303 -- again.

    LSA MH 577-450 in Martini-Henry Forum Forum

    A Lee Enfield Sporting rifle

    Cheers

    Ok so chopped and front sight fitted

    Off to range tomorrow to check height of front sight, seems too high but will check on paper to get a better idea of what size to order

    Next step will be coating, tossing up mil spec vs cerakote

    Mil spec 350sh but 6-8 weeks
    Cerakote 500sh and hopefully quicker turnaround

    Cheers
