And a Ballard Schoyen schuetzen rifle in .32-40 (the project!):

Unfortunately the Schoyen's barrel has probably been worked over by every owner it ever had! Numerous scope base holes. Plus a couple extra dovetails for whatever? And the final disgrace to a wonderful old Schoyen; a hot blued finish on barrel and frame! Poor gun.
I knew when I bought it I'd have my work cut out, so began to disassemble it, and fix the boogers. Fortunately the internals and bore were excellent! A Schoyen bore is a thing of beauty, and if it had been damaged I'd have never purchased the gun.
Had a friend help me out with filling all the holes. Every screw hole was D&T, but every screw in the holes was the wrong thread! Removed them all, re-tapped the holes, and plugged 6 extra holes! Then made two dovetail fitted blanks, and drove them in tight, with JB Weld on the fitted blanks. Once all the holes were filled, I polished them off flush, and prepped the barrel for draw filing. left the holes for two sets of bases for the 20x Lyman that came with the Schoyen.

Finally polished out the barrel, frame, lever, and breechblock halves.

Next will be fixing one letter on the rollstamp that was cut out when someone added one of the dovetails. Then it's off for color casehardening, and rust bluing the barrel. Hope to have it back together in 4-6 weeks.
