Well, things have gone better then expected. Tried the Armorall and Watco Danish oil thing, and it seems to work well. Didn't believe in snake oil till now!

Anyhoo, time for the "last post" - essentially done except for a rear sight, and the checkering will have to wait a bit yet.

It's been fun, enjoy.
Now for a warm day to try it out....only -5F this morning!
