Yep, works fine. Good pull, go's bang when its supposed to. Besides, non rebounding parts are getting old/worn/expensive now and just not worth the expense to leave a big divot and hole in the receiver anyway.
Finished.....I think. Fixed it up with a new front sling swivel, loctighted and bedded so it should neither move nor break. Final touch, added an Amish made Distressed Buffalo Leather sling to round out the old look. Some shooting and a final coat of wax on the wood and metal is in order.
