This has been over year getting her to this point, I picked her up with one leg in the grave. To much to list here. But the last was finding an L & R lock installed. I wanted to go this far with a restore before spending the money on a high end kit. Learned alot more to go. Criticism welcome.

Good for you! No criticism here! Have fun.
 
Beautiful rifle. Not a criticism, but some advice; if you relieve the notch on the back side of the rear sight you will get less glare/ shadowing and a crisper sight picture. I have a similar sight I bought from TOW and it made a big difference after I relieved it. Here's a couple of examples of what I'm referring to.

Sound like good advice, I wasn't getting as shape a sight, maybe this is it. Thanks.
