nice job!
Nice.
Looks good.
Almost done. Hope to have it finished and reassembled tomorrow evening as long as there are no flaws in the final coat.
Here are the final results. Before and after.
Man, you did a really great job on that rifle. I'll bet your proud of it. 
That I am. Thank you.
Already started on the next one. A 1932 Hex Mosin 91/30. You should find it in the Milsurp forum when it's finished, assuming I can locate a spare hand guard for it soon. (FYI for the purists, I'm using a spare stock and leaving the original as is.)
Once that's done I'll be starting another Gill-gun reno...
A hint at future projects..
The current 1932 Hex Mosin 91/30 stock refinish
1948 Springfield 87A renovation
1949 Savage 6A - rejuvenating the finish
1990's SKS stock modification and refinish (again, using a spare stock and keeping the # matching one original)
and something yet undetermined with my 1942 Mosin 91/30

I just purchased a Savage 3B single-shot 22 rifle,,,
My intent is to restore it much as you did,,,
And give it to a friend as a gift.
I don't think I will need to be that aggressive on the barrel,,,
But now that I have read your procedures,,,
If I must then I believe I can do that.
Thanks and congrats on a job well done.
