Got the barrel. A beautiful 7.62 x 39, from Numrich, plus the magazine adapter. The stock is the sporterized original- not, frankly, horribly bad. It’s got some dings deep enough I wasn’t interested in sanding out, but it has a nice flame figure on the buttstock. Just finished inletting the barrel groove in the stock, so I put it more-or-less together to take a picture.

It still needs to have the magazine housing set properly, and the trigger isn’t attached, but you get the general idea. I will probably buy a Numrich bent bolt handle. And I’ll have to take it somewhere to be blued.I can do the drill/tap to the receiver for the scope (no, I won’t be putting iron sights on it)

I thought seriously about a nice fajen stock, even a thumbholer, but this sucker as is looks pretty nice, it’s got an interesting line.

Shit happens. Next.

I’m too annoyed to speak about this. Go read the brilliant comments by Dick.
