Another Sindi Rifle (Rags to riches)
Acquired at the same auction as the other Sindi and the Rasak/Kariophili posted here earlier, is this rifle which is similar to that posted here and owned by Rickstl http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=jezail
This one however was rescued from a junk pile and was in terrible condition. After many hours of restoration it now at least has a future. Though it still has some minor failings, at least it is no longer junk.......... A series of before and after pics will show how it was, and how it is now. Stu |

Very nice before and after!
That's a lot of work and a lot of Sindhi guns...

Very sympathetic restoration job! Just the right amount of cleaning everywhere. I'm especially impressed by the way you brought the lock back to life. Well done!
