Disassembly and reassembly was "interesting."

Garnett:
Your rifle turned out very nice!  The early wood was so much nicer than on later guns.  The metal looks great!   Thanks for sharing the pictures.  Did you do the work or have it done?

Exchipy:
Thanks.  The Black Nitride treatment was done by H&M Metal Processing Company of Akron, OH.  I slopped some TruOil on the stock, put it all back together and added a Leupold 1-4x20.  Voila!  Weatherproof, lightweight stalking rifle..

Arisamane:
I've been searching for this information for a long time and want to get it.

Mike Armstrong:
And you can stuff this rifle in your backpack if needed. 

That's one reason European break-action single shot stalking rifles are still available--for a price.  I guess the nearest we have currently made in USA are the T-C Encore (HEAVY) and Contender (better, IMO, but really ugly compared to a 219) and the new Henry single shots, which don't take down as easily as a 219.  Nothing takes down that easily until you buy a Merkel or Blaser single shot for about what I pay for a car.

Good on ya for reviving a great little rifle!
