Thanks bud , appreciate it . Gotta let it , well , the iron parts , soak for awhile . The last gun I soaked for days and still had a problem with it trying to continue rusting even baking soda ed it twice too ! So trying to be cautious this time . Can't wait to assemble it final and shoot it again .

How dare you, I thought someone finally got the lock on the correct side. It is a great looking firearm. Congratulations once again!

Purty, Rob. You know rustic for sure, even the edges of the trigger guard are pitted to match the flat surfaces.
