I'm thinking for a 4/59 vintage, the Patridge is no longer correct, most likely the ramp.

I'm interested in how it shoots with the corrosion in the muzzle. If 5" is the original length and you choose to keep it, you could free bore the last 1/2" or so at the muzzle.

You might only need to re-crown it about .020".

I think there's a lot of us here enjoying your project vicariously!
