	Not as well as I want. Structurally it is sound but I need to find a better wood match and redo the seam. OK for now. I will deal with it when things settle down. Maybe this winter.

	Things settle down? Is the Irish Catholic on the warpath again?

	No but I have lots on my plate and my back and hip are very painful. Here is the repair with the unacceptable seam. Off to walk the dog at the shady park Jack

	Could cover that zipper with wood dough and stain to match. Maybe she beats you when yer asleep. Look into a surveillance camera. Maybe even one of them game-trail cameras. Need to hide it so she can't see it.

	I put the trail camera up in the back yard. There were reports of a bear a couple of hundred yards south snd and a coyote in my neighbors driveway this morning.

	My plan for the forend is to make a fixture to hold it in the mill vise an the correct angle to cut a 1//6” deep by 3/8” wide channel so it will be nice and flat with straight sides. Then I will cut a matching piece of wood with the grain in the correct direction and glue it in place.

	Well Joe I received a lot of 5 Winchester grip caps from eBay. Someone had ground off the tabs on the bottom but one fit better that the one I robbed from the 25 Hornet. All that is left (besides eventually fixing the forend) is to sand and possibly thin the MVA lever. That task will be a winter project as well. Next up is to see which of the 4 bullets I have shoot the best. I will try using some 8” black bull targets I have at 100 yds where hopefully I can get a better sight picture. When we finally get some of the usual Washington overcast I should be able to see a 200 yd bull again. Our range has so many tall trees on the right side that causes shade most of the morning. By the time the 200 yd target is in the bright sun, it blurs out for me. Jack

	Levers on single shot's are like ladies hairdooz and wigs. You can change them as your desires change or locations change. I like it. Fancy but not to frilly..

	I have had that for a while but I thought it was for a low wall due to the thinner section covering the hammer area. I decided to swap it out for the one that came with the rife while I refinished it but this one fits flush. It is a brunette too!

	Jack, That lever looks like one of Bo Clerke's castings.

	Thanks Bob, I wasn’t paying attention and thought it was the original Winchester style that is somewhat similar. Somehow I now how I have two of then Winchester ones for coil spring actions. Now I have a decision to make as I was able to finish the MVA lever that came with the rifle. I removed the milling machine marks and slightly rounded the sharp edges polished and cold blued the lever. I will shoot it with the Clerke lever next time and see which one I like.
