Very nice piece Frank. Hard to follow that but here's my newest addition to the family.

Great wood on your 1903!
Here's my Anschutz moving target rifle:
And here's my shootingbuddys Olympic gold medal winning rifle from the '88 Olympics in Seoul, Korea. Walther with Nickel 4-16x56 twin post scope. Pretty isn't it :
Both rifles have shot more than 100k rounds.
My CZ 455 Varmint Precision Trainer.
16.5" Factory barrel 1/2-28.
Pillar and glass bedded.
Yo-Dave trigger kit tuned to 1.5lbs.
Bolt knob threaded and custom knob made.
Metal Cerakoted in Magpul FDE.
Bolt oxidized to turn black.(Couldn't stand the shiny bolt..)
Manners T4 painted to mimic Mcmillan swirl patterns.
DIP 25 MOA rail.
Weaver low tactical rings.
SWFA 12x.
Custom bipod rail I built, Atlas bipod.
Tac-Ops cheek pad modified to hold mags.(Need some more mags...)
Shoots around .6ish at 50yds right now. I am still working on getting that back to the .2 groups it shot before the Cerakote. Thought I'd share..

Here´s my little RF that could. A Sako Quad HB in a alum. pillar bedded GRS stock. Ridiculously accurate rifle in both .22LR & .17 HMR.
Following some of the "how-to" threads for the Airsoft AICS/CZ455 conversion, my friend and I, (much, MUCH more him than I) went to work on mine. We built on some lessons learned and combined some ideas, and for you guys that started these, I thank you.
A bedding block was machined to slide into the chassis to support the receiver/barrel, pillars were added, some minor fitting and this is the almost finished product. I need the DIP extended mag release to make the .22 mag changes a bit easier, coating the bare aluminum bedding block and that should do it.
I managed to score some real AICS skins that are much nicer than the fake ones that were on it, there were some minor fitting issues but those were easily overcome. I am very happy with the feel and looks, not sure if the fake FH will hinder any performance but I will find out this weekend.
Thanks again for this Mike....a few pints and wings are in order.
How Frick'n Awsome!!!!!Update on my Ballard. Well got it back from Steve and Keith at SPG Lube/Wyoming Armory last week. The guys did a great job on repairing the stock (it had two broken pieces out of the bottom by the pronged butt plate) they repaired it so well that unless I point it out to you where it was broke it would be hard to find and they matched the finish to boot! Steve recrowned the muzzle as the crown was damaged. I felt it needed a 1/2" taken off of it. He felt it wouldn't need that much but did see the damage I was talking about. He didn't want to shorten the barrel if he didn't have to. So he recrowned the muzzle and shot it from a Pope machine rest. Shot a bunch of different ammo and approx. 15-20 rounds to foul the clean barrel. Pictured is one of the targets. The Federal Ultra Match (UM1) shot the best consistently. The group pictured is .306" high by .244" wide. He backed it up with another group that measured .237" x .200". The groups were fired at 65 yards. They installed Ballard windgage adjustable front sight for me as well.
The gun was rebarreled by the Steven's factory around 1909. The barrel is marked Stevens-Pope. It's got a left hand twist, 8 grooves and is a gain twist. Enjoy the pics....
Later, Frank
