I’ve already found some things I’ve got wrong for version 2. It’s always obvious once you start making something for real.
 
It’s definitely paint. Haven’t found a can the right size yet I’ve got the graphic to print and make a label. Making the amo box’s is quite a bit of work but I’m looking forward to working it out.

I, for one, really appreciate the period correct usage of flat/slotted head screws. It's that kind of attention to detail that really makes someone's work stand out (y)
I leave for a 2 week vacation and what does flimzy in my absence? ANOTHER COOL PROP BUILD!!o_Oo_O:cool::cool::cool:(y)(y)(y):notworthy::notworthy::notworthy:
Slotted screws? Yes, when the prop demands it...but, as an ex-European living in Canada, I was glad to discover Phillips/Robertson screws:p(y)
 
Everything fits but I’m still going to do some alterations on the final one.

waiting for some stock before finishing the spreaders. I didn’t notice before that there are 2 in the box.

Flimzy, If you need a little help with the recoil pad, let me know. These grind to fit pads can be a pain. I can give you a few tips that might help.
Would you believe I found that pad over a year ago after days of searching the web. It was the only one that matched. I went to buy more and everywhere is out no one carry’s the 31 mod . But I just found some one who can get me a few for the suppliers. I found a video where they have a rig for grinding the pads I was thinking of making one of them. But stay tuned I might need your help.

Wish I would have seen this earlier. I have a Martini Henry stock I would have given you
You can help me. At the moment everything with this version is scaled from pictures but the one dimension I’ve really struggled with and have no reference to compare with anything else is the width of the action. So if you have a stock how wide is it where it meats the action. It’s one thing I’m sure I got wrong. I don’t think mine is wide enough.

Sure, no problem - I’ll take some pics & measurement when I get home from work today
