Looks great! You saved a sporter.
You owe it to yourself to get an M1907 sling though http://www.epsaddlery.com/c-78-slings.aspx |

Good job. Do get the sling, either a new one or a used military at a gun show.
Sell the old sporter stock, recoup a couple of bucks ! |

Sell the old sporter stock, recoup a couple of bucks ! The sling was a new one I was thinking about getting a barreled action and making a shooter. |

Your shooter's right there in the photos. If it headspaces and there's nothing unsafe about it, you're not going to hurt that old gal. Enjoy it.

Chris B - I shot it when it was in the "sporterized" condition and it shot fine.
